You may interpret the statute differently, but this explanation is how the state and local election officials are operating. There’s a reason why they’re running the election and you, well, aren’t.

That being said, if you disagree, as is your right, you should bring up those concerns to your elected representatives with the state, that is their job (lord knows they’re getting paid enough for it)

Edit: lol he got mad and reported this comment for “self harm”
