where the election board - those folks behind the table checking the pollbook when you go to vote - is all Republican, they would merely have to let the known R women slide by, and challenge the D women.

It is very important for D's to sit on election boards, particularly in areas where we are outnumbered. When Rs know they are watched, they are less likely to play games.
