Thank you!

I have been doing voter protection since 2004. Normally only election workers, voters and if the law allows, properly authorized poll watchers are allowed in the voting site. In Texas poll watchers have to be registered voters in the county in question and have to be certified by the party or a candidate. The asshole lady who founded True the Vote lives or lived in my county. For the 2012 election, true the Vote was going to swarm my county with True the Vote poll watchers. Poorly trained True the Vote poll watchers had caused some delays in the 2010 election in Harris County. I trained and had sufficient poll watchers out for the 2012 election to cover democratic voting precincts for election day. For early voting, I had poll watchers at key early voting sites and I went to a couple of early vote locations.

Prior to Shelby County case, the DOJ had broad authority to monitor elections in counties that had prior election issues which included my county and Harris County. The DOJ had election monitors in 8 of the key precincts and told my poll watchers not to worry about True The Vote. This was pre-Shelby County SCOTUS opinion and now the DOJ appears to not have the power to send in poll monitors in your county.

When I went to Florida in 2004, I was stationed outside the polling location and could not go in. Again, we were reacting to the 2000 election and this may not have been an efficient use of attorneys. I did have fun meeting a good number of Democratic attorneys (we had 800 out of state attorneys in the county I was stationed). The DOJ will NOT be able to do much if they are not allowed in your polling locations.

Keep us informed. I would not be surprised to see the DOJ try to bluff their way into a polling location

It will be interesting what you see and witness. Be carefull!

If you keep them out they probably will still lurk around the entrances.

I was campaign manager for the Democrats running for Council in a town in Bergen County and as soon as I walked into a polling place a Republican recognized me and quickly and loudly protested my presence without credentials saying that I was "electioneering" at the polls (which I wasn't). I had gone there to bring coffee and donuts to the poll workers (including the Republicans). So I left after announcing that those who wanted coffee and donuts could come outside to the parking lot to get them.

NJ is very strict about who is allowed inside at the polls or within 100 feet of their entrances.

… is an experiment attempting to intimidate a certain demographic from voting. It’s no accident that the precincts being monitored are predominantly LatinX.

It will not surprise me one bit if there is heavy presence of ICE thugs near every one of the monitored precincts. And they won’t be there “just looking for criminals.”

Just my opinion.

Please keep us posted on the outcome tomorrow.

Will there be a shootout if some of these Federal Poll Thugs do something illegal and draw their guns while resisting arrest for it? Some may be prepared to act as agents provocateurs to trigger Trump's Insurrection Act when the bullets fly near the ballots.

The hell with obeying in advance when it comes to the extra-judicial execution of our democracy in the back alleys of silicon valley. They will not have my compliance.

California's mail voting and notification system works so well that in person is another memory.
The last time the workers even baked cookies.

Wow. Those were certainly different times.

What was that like? Did you make refreshments for the ‘guests?’

They would send a bunch of booths w curtains that had to be set up, markers, ballots. I believe my mom would make cookies or something.

Some years it was busy in the am and after work. Smaller elections not so much.

the 2026 elections and 2028 elections...........only white skinned people will be allowed to vote, all others will be arrested.

The only way to truly prevent the criminal elements that are doing the corrupt Dem voting.

Could it be just random, or might they think there's an advantage in depressing turnout there in particular - or something else?

So I reckon it’s about suppressing the vote more than anything. But I could be wrong.

I grew up in NJ. I’m grateful I grew up in such a diverse area of the US (not Passaic County though).

Thanks for letting us know. Sunshine is the method to defeat conspiracies and power trips.
