Take a photo of your "poll-watcher" (re: new Wisconsin law)

[SoCalDem]

and demand THEIR info...

and perhaps Dems should sue for them to wear name badges with their names & addresses on them for all to see...

They stand close enough to hear all the personal info about "the watched"..

Is not turnabout, fair play?

Would they be fearful if strangers knew THEIR "data"?

1. I've voted in the same place for many decades. The establishment in the Township is

Republican. All the poll watchers are older than I am (70). Poll watchers are scrupulously divided by party, with equal numbers and equal representation at all times at the polls. I have been a poll watcher several times at my own polling place.

I can't see anything to be gained by what you are recommending. If I want to start a conversation with poll watchers about voting rights and the role of voter ID, etc., the best thing I could do would be to start an actual verbal conversation with them about those issues. I would not do it while they are carrying out their duties, given how busy they are.

The poll watchers are not our enemy. If you want to be a Democratic poll watcher, sign up.

2. unless you try to vote in Wisconsin this November

6. This law has nothing to do with ensuring that polling places are orderly

or that the voting process is fair & above-board.

The only reason for this law is to allow Republican "poll watchers" to intimidate Democratic voters.

7. Most of the new laws, especially the ones passed in NC don't require poll watchers to be local. The

party has so many "floaters" that can go to any polling location. There is also a law that states anyone can challenge a ballot, you don't need to be a poll watcher. It's crazy what they're trying to get passed.

8. This Bill was Representative Pridemore's baby

He goes to Rep. Kessler's district and challenges voters there, and he's been tossed out for being an asshole. Maybe if he can stand right on top of the voters, he can make them uncomfortable enough that they're turned off from voting.

9. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that nt

3. Be careful

In the State of Georgia, taking photos inside a polling place is illegal - even for the press.

4. No photos allowed in the polling place

until the polls close - at least in Wisconsin.

5. well, at least they should be forced to display their info

especially if they are close enough to listen to yours
