when we trained in Ohio for 2008...

we were told the cellphones pictures and video were not welcome in the polling station...

they were intimidating to the voters.

TIMID poll watchers? Little old ladies? Where are the tough looking Marine types?

Gawd, don’t we have anyone with guts anymore?

deport has already stated this, but I thought it would be helpful to cite the election law:

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/EL/htm/EL.61.htm#61.014

Sec. 61.014. USE OF CERTAIN DEVICES.

1. A person may not use a wireless communication device within 100 feet of a voting station.

2. A person may not use any mechanical or electronic means of recording images or sound within 100 feet of a voting station.

3. The presiding judge may require a person who violates this section to turn off the device or to leave the polling place.

4. This section does not apply to:
   1. an election officer in conducting the officer's official duties;
   2. the use of election equipment necessary for the conduct of the election; or
   3. a person who is employed at the location in which a polling place is located while the person is acting in the course of the person's employment.

That is the only way anything gets done, with video proof.

In Texas it is against the law to use a video recorder or even a telephone while in a polling place.

When I worked a precinct last year, we were reminded that if our personal phones rang, we had to go outside the polling place to answer it, and if we saw anyone using a phone in the polling place, we would have to ask them to go outside or turn their phones off.

Unfortunately, Shiela Jackson Lee will continue to get by with BS because 1) she is black and 2) she represents a predominantly black area.

Poll watchers cannot use cameras and cell phones at most polling places. But, you could have still have citizens stand at the place the electioneering is permitted where the media can stand. And that point, you can bring in any recording device.

[antivenom]

In Texas cameras are illegal (added snark) unless a black lib has it.

Truly tho recording devices in a poll station is illegal.

I’m ashamed to say the acorn headed moon bat IS my rep I’m in district 18.

GO Faulk!!!!!!!
