That’s the point I keep trying to bring up as the poll workers response to your question. Seems very relevant.

But that’s not what the rules say. You can’t be challenged for any reason, why you’re being challenged DOES matter. It says it very clearly in the election rules you keep posting and that I’m already familiar with. I’m not claiming stolen election or fraud. But OP’s scenario is not in line with the rules. That’s all.

I understand your frustration, I have it too from the last few years of insanity. But if someone is willing to do anything even a little out of line, then they may be willing to do something else. It’s noteworthy is my only point.

The context is he was challenged for no reason other than “We are trying something new this year.” That’s the context we were given. And I don’t know where you get the goose stepping angle from in your other replies. From what I can read, you and I are on the same side of this debate and you seem to be operating under the assumption that we are all “MAGA snowflakes”. The situation, as they described it, is odd. It’s noteworthy based on the election rules that even you posted here and that many of us are already aware of.

Did you even read the source you gave?

“Yes, but only for certain reasons and by certain people. An election official, poll watcher, or other voter may only challenge a voter on the grounds that the voter does not live in the precinct or the voter is not the person the voter says he or she is.”

OP stated this was not the case for them. And you are blatantly overlooking the fact that the poll worker said to them “Its a new thing we are trying this year” Re-read the posts, re-read your own sources. Re-assess.

No one is contesting that? OP specifically said that the poll worker asked for their name, poll worker found name, poll worker covered address from OP’s view and required they say the address to them before receiving the ballot. That is what is being discussed.

Read the OP’s posts. If you feel it’s fine, then so be it. But it’s abnormal for a worker to do this.

What in the hell are you even talking about?

Sheesh. Election rules require you look at the polling book and confirm your address. They don’t require the confirmation scenario OP described. No need for the dumb fucks stuff friend.

Nah. There is no reason for her to have covered your address and made you confirm it, that’s not how this works. I’d report that.

What do you mean by confirm your address? Like look at the polling book and see that your name and address are the same before signing, or provide some sort of document to prove where you lived?
