MikeRichardson Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 So my day started off like this... And it ended something like this... Still, I'd do it again. It's fulfilling. We opened on time at 7 am and had no major issues. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I,, too, have been an election worker a couple of of times. Things went smoothly until some Republican yahoo voted in the Democratic primary, "Guess what?! I just voted for Obama, and I'm not even a Democrat!" I asked the election judge if the voter should be prosecuted, and she said that although he technically had broken the law, we'd overlook it for now.

Wasn't it the election workers' job to make sure he/she was given the correct ballot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Texas you can vote in either party's primary, but in the event of a primary runoff you can only vote for candidates in the party whose primary you previously voted in.

Yes and no. We can direct voters to the contests they attest to, but if it's a matter of the voter actually declaring that he had just voted in the run-offs for a party with which he wasn't affiliated that it became a case of the voter misstating his intentions.
