I’m in Abington on Edge Hill Road. I voted at Highland Elementary this morning. Here’s my report:
Voted in Congressional District 13 (SE PA) this morning at 7:10 am. I was voter #31.
I’m waiting in line and I overheard the fat, 60ish white woman Judge (reeked lib) say to the volunteer overseeing the line “why don’t we let these people into the voting area?” to which he replied “we can only let 10 people in at a time because it’s a new rule.” She was arguing about the cold, etc. I get up to them and she’s trying to usher me into the area that’s already holding more than 10 voters. I say to her “I’ll wait and follow the rules. You really should too.”
At the desk checking in I gave my name. The woman next to me is telling the middle-aged white woman at the desk “Republican” to the question of party affiliation. She then asked “why do you need to know that.” The desk lady answered in a sing-song mocking tone “because the ‘poll watchers’ need to know.” I said to her “you should keep your opinions to yourself.”
I voted straight pubby with the exception for 1 down ticket dem, so my electronic vote won’t be switched. I also wore a red top. Came home and had to chew a piece of Nicorette gum.
Good job!
Clever move. I'll try that myself. I don't know if it would be enough to stop a switch, but it can't hurt.
Poll watchers need to know is as you know bs. Hubby is a poll watcher and no such thing.
We have no party affiliation tables. Just town districts where you go to sign in and get your ballot.
Good idea.
