Scene: Democrat one, male, retired 60 something from a major unionized delivery company with pension.

I had to explain to him why we have a Republic and not a Democracy when he wistfully complained about why we don't use the popular vote instead of the electoral college. He reluctantly nodded his head in agreement.

Democrat two, female, late 50's divorced ANTI union with cushy county job which is defined as "full time" but more like part time.

I had to explain to one of the voters how the parties show up on the ballot in various flavours including: Conservative Party, Green Party, etc.

Democrat two hadn't a clue!

Both Democrats listened to crap like NPR and watched crap like 60 minutes, which I called an "hour long sleeping pill."

They both "warned" me about one gentleman in particular who comes to vote EVERY election and complains about Obama and the rigged system, getting on his soap box; how this guy "never shuts up."

Well sure enough, D1 was elbowing me and making eye movements when said gentleman, an older man who obviously had worked hard all his life, came in with his son and proceeded to talk about election fraud.

D1 had earlier told me that there is "no such thing" as election fraud, which I countered with "how do you know the software on that machine is counting votes correctly once it gets uploaded to the mainframe/cloud?"

He had to admit he didn't. (I work for IT and he knew it)

I gave the older gentleman a wink and helped his son to vote affidavit when he wasn't on the registry. A surprising amount of people were NOT in the registry books, and quite a few that WERE in the registry were deceased, which the voters made a point to let D2 know (she seemed rather unconcerned).

This particular electorate/voting site was approx 700 including absentee roles. Almost 500 came out to vote. Our county as a whole, just squeaked by edging Pub over Dem. We have a LOT of sanctimonious, self-professed "educated" white libs in our county.

At the end of the night, the "ticker tape" rolled out of the machine showing a 2 to 1 victory for President-Elect Trump. The look on D1 and D2's faces was PRICELESS! The same look as if the price of their vacation Amtrak ride to Seattle had DOUBLED (yes, D1 droned on about how he and his wife LOVED that trip).

Kind of a "the electorate aren't smart enough to know what is good for them" lib look.

That's the arrogance. Funny...I believe that same arrogance is the reason why Hillary wasn't prepared to steal the election.

I am happy to see that your interactions with the Libs were civil. I expect many Republican poll workers didn’t have the same experience.

Good report.
I will report my experience as a poll working in NH later tonight.

Oh, and to everyone who thought Trump was going to lose, see tagline.

At my work, I heard my boss saying “all indications show that Clinton is winning this”. I should know better than get worried about what arm chair quarterbacks are thinking.
