Same here! (MD)
But, I have a full day of work Tuesdays, and already have bugged out on Tuesday students, so I’m not going to. I’ll be lucky to vote that day.
I should’ve thought of that when signing up for work hours this semester, and left Tuesday open.
DO IT!!!!!!!!!
Of course not. Only Democrats are allowed to be Election Judges....................😉
Yes.
THIS is how we get our country back.
I am.
I have been an election official in various capacities since Reagan’s first win.
Being a Poll Watcher is generally useless. Unless you are an official, certified poll worker you don’t get close to ‘the machine.’
Depending on the state, if you want to have eyes on records, and how they are handled, work the shifts in the second half of the day, and be sure to be working when the polls close and all records are tabulated.
You CAN monitor what happened in you poll location.
Here in GA, the shenanigans happened when (a) ballots were put in drop boxes and (b) three counties ‘did things’ at the county official level, primarily will mail in, absentee and drop off ballots. The polling locations for in-person here in GA make it hard to cheat actually.
I am, have been for years.
Been an election judge a couple times in Md 20 years ago but have some friends who signed up for this year.
Thanks for the kick in the pants. I just submitted my application in Maryland.
FReepers-We need you to step up like Trueblackman.
I was in Commierado from 2014 until the lockdown . I am not jabbed and was not going to wear a mask for 8 hours. We have 2 week early voting so I worked more than just election day. The temp company thru which we were hired did not allow ccw. Since all the polling places I worked were not schools or had metal detectors I carried all the time.
I have been for 6 years here in Texas.
All signed up and thanks for the information and encouragement.
In Maine election judges are classified into several groups:
Wardens-overall in charge, clerks-those who handout ballots, assist in putting ballots into the machine, and a registrar (not sure of the title) who registers new votes and those changing wards. All of these judges are under the direction of city or town employees. There is a requirement that at least one registered Democrat and one registered Republican be present when voting occurs. Also, one of each is required to be present after the polls cloased and the tallys run and recorded. Each party memeber signs off on the results.
I will be working as an election clerk from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm. The polls are open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Only those people standing in line at 8:00 pm are permitted to vote.
In the five years I worked elections no one has been in line at exactly 8:00 pm. So we close the voting and run the tallies.
For whatever reason, Republican slots have been difficult to fill. I guess the country club RINOs are just to busy.
Yes, The best way to keep elections fair.
Inspector and judges are the positions which can actually stop the fraud!
The fraud can only happen when there are no Republican judges/inspectors!
Please, do it!
