I'm a POLL WORKER (a 14+ hour day)......and kind of a "spy" since most POLL WORKERS are DEMS......we CANNOT ask for ID in our area ......it's crazy, plus we end up with lots of Provisional Ballots. I worry more about what happens at the County AUDITOR'S office than at the Individual Polling place in our County. People need to go observe the doings at their local COUNTY OFFICES.
What does that do? A poll watcher does what? Profile? I saw poll workers and they didn't look at anyone funny and weren't intimidating.
I've volunteered to be a poll watcher.....Lookout Fraud Democrat voters!
Is your area primarily DEMOCRATIC? That might be why your online registration did not get a response? (In our area, the Auditor is an Elected Democrat.....and I have a feeling "known Repubs" don't get called to work AT the POLLS much.) Also, poll watchers are usually identified and called by the individual Party's from their previous VOLUNTEER workers....
What are they doing about the snowbirds in florida who are voting twice? I suggest looking at license plates and if you see an out of state one...ask them in their face if they voted already. NOTHING is being done about that...I asked the people taking voter information from me what has been done to prevnet these people from voting twice. He pointed to the affadavid and explained that if you get caught, you pay $5,000. He said it was like 'cheating on your taxes." I said to him...Who doesn't cheat on their taxes?? Haha...you get my drift. Anyway...that is what should be corrected...we all know its the DEMOCRAPS who are going to do the cheating....what can be done???
Evidently, poll watching also can consist of checking the voter rolls to see who has & has not voted yet, so that the phone banks can call them & get them to the polls.

I'm not sure what my instructions will be....I have training this Monday. The poll watchers you saw probably weren't intimidating because you were not doing anything wrong except voting properly. I will let you know after I am told what to watch for and what to do about it.
Nothing, actually.
I'm too busy working for the Burr campaign.
I have to say, our local county GOPs have it covered very well.
Somewhere.....I'll have to find it. There are so many fraud posts that you can't help but be informed about this issue.
Yeah there is. Pretty d**ned pathetic, isn't it?
BTW, I'll be watching at my local poll. We have it easier here in Virginia because you are required to submit ID and get checked off on voter registration list.
Wow. You need a better vacation system. I'm taking election day off on my comp time. I won't even have to use a leave day. I'm saving those for when Tyler is here.
Mu understanding about absentee balloting is that it is supposed to be for the military and for people who know ahead of time that they will be out of their areas on election day. They aren't used that way anymore though. Now they're used as a matter of convenience and there are large scale efforts made by both parties, but especially by democrats, to solicit absentee ballot applications.
I wish I had comp time! Being a contractor, that is not part of the deal. I'm not complaining, I love my job!
I am glad to know there are others who are stepping up to the plate to try to keep this election fair.... as much as possible.
I love comp time. It is one of the perks of this job, and it isn't too hard to build it up, because with all the deadlines we have to meet, especially for the courts, there is a lot of overtime, plus we're on an on call rotation as well, so one week out of five, we could get called in at any time. Flex time is nice too. If I'm having a week where I get 40 hours in before the end of the week, (not too hard to do), then I can take a day off, as long as all my deadlines are met.
I thought wal-mart were heartless basturds who oppressed the working class?
Walmart? I don't work for Walmart. Never did. I worked for the inventory company that did their inventorues, but I changed jobs back in June.
