Years ago, working as a poll watcher, at the polling places in Chicago, during preparation for opening the Cook County Election Judges would decide on which Democrat was going to be the token or token(s) Republican(s) Election Judge for the day.
Nothing has changed in Cook County today.
Applicants, online registration for Election Judge position for upcoming elections only are required to identify what party they want to represent.
There is no, and never was any verification of anyone’s actual party affiliation as a qualification for Cook County Election Judge.

Yes, JimRed. In addition, Texas is now so dominated by the Republican Party that in certain locales you HAVE to be a republican to get started in politics. This fact attracts ringers, literal “RINOs” who are inwardly democrats, but adopt the republican label until they get established. Look for example at Wendy Davis (aka, “Abortion Barbie”). She started her political carrier as a republican and didn’t show her true colors until later.
