I’m in Michigan and went to our local Republican training class for Poll challenger. I asked about the 6 ft distance. As a challenger you stand behind the election inspector (the person who takes your ID, looks you up in the computer to see if you are registered, already voted, if in right precinct etc. I said how am I to be able to see the QRF FILE 6 ft away to be able to see all the columns, data, name of person, etc. Just told have to do best I can. Insane. In DEM strong-holds they will make sure you are 6ft away or in this video, make sure there isn’t 6ft distance SO YOU CAN STAND BEHIND THEM. Republican trainers should have planned ahead for this 6ft distance. Maybe that is where they really came up with the 6FT RULE WITH COVID CRAP.
I’m disgusted. Who is really going to file charges against them, not like the DEM SOS, AG will do anything about it anyways.
I signed up on the SOS Michigan site for poll challenger or poll worker. NEVER GOT AN EMAIL. I said something to Republican trainer about this- he said not first person I have heard this from, happening all over the state.
CORRECTION “SO YOU CAN’T STAND BEHIND THEM FOR THE 6FT SOCIAL DISTANCE REQUIREMENT).
Set up a camera and monitor. From 6 feet my phone even works.
What you describe is also going on in PA. The D’s control key positions and make sure they pack the precinct tables with their people, even though there is supposed to be both minority and majority party representation at the table. They have made a total hash of the mail-in ballots as well. They have multiple strategies for making it more difficult for the R’s to observe or challenge the process. I’ve done this for years and it is a chronic problem. I expect this year will be worse than ever. Spending hours in the poll being insulted by the election judge, sworn at by the nice suburban D’s and threatened by the D party leaders is just the typical election day experience of an R committee person. I have little doubt most of these unpleasant neighbors have nice yard signs telling me that ‘hate has no home here’.
