PSA: Election Law in Pennsylvania [View all]

It's been awhile since I was a Judge of Elections, but I don't think the state election law has changed regarding polling places.

In the poll, the Judge of Elections rules, period. The Judge can evict police or anyone who is disrupting or trying to intimidate voters. If you are a pollwatcher, you need the proper paperwork AND you must sit SILENTLY while you watch. Your seat is a proscribed distance from the actual voting area and sign in table.
You also may not wear or display any partisan clothing, hat, pin, etc or do anything else that would constitute "campaigning" inside the poll. No campaigning is permitted outside within 100' of the poll.
