A poll worker was arrested Tuesday and charged with assault and interfering with an election for allegedly choking a voter and pushing him out the door, officials said.
It apparently started as a dispute between the two over marking the ballot, said Lt. Col. Carl Yates of the Jefferson County sheriff's office.
The voter told poll worker Jeffery Steitz that he didn't want to vote in a judicial election because he didn't know enough about the candidates, but Steitz told him he had to vote in the race anyway, Yates said.
Steitz, 42, eventually grabbed the man by the neck and threw him out of the polling place, Yates said.

Why can't this happen to me? I would enjoy being the topic of a self defense thread here on FR.

United Auto Workers union hall used as polling place.
Wonder if the poll worker who choked the voter was a union thug.

You don't have to ask. If the poll worker were a Republican the whole election would have been invalidated by now.

A little (well, okay, a
lot) off subject, but a funny thing happened to me when I and hubby dear went to vote late this morning.
The lady was checking his card against "the book". With a charming smile I said, "Don't close that,'cause I'm next," and gave my name. A little ole blue-hair lady sitting next to the gal looked at me then asked my husband "She belong to you?"
Before hubby got his mouth even half open I snapped: (politely as possible) "I'm his wife...not his dog."
LOL! 'Course that embarrassed everybody except me and the little ole blue haired lady, God love 'er!
