Williamson County elections judge quits after confrontation with early voter

[TexasTowelie]

A Williamson County election supervisor and judge has resigned from her position after shouting at and berating a voter last week at a polling location in Round Rock, according to Williamson County elections officials.

Williamson County Elections Administrator Chris Davis said the incident happened during early voting on Friday at the J.B. & Hallie Jester Annex.

Davis said the incident involved a woman who was registered to vote in Williamson County, but had moved to Travis County, and seemed to be confused about where and how she could cast her vote.

Davis said the woman initially went to vote in Travis County but was turned away and told to go to Williamson county.

I've done her job before and that is not how you deal with a person being upset because they were misdirected to the wrong site. You're polite, compassionate and sympathetic. You help them find their place and try to get them there in time to cast their ballot. What you don't do is lose your mind and go all authoritarian on them like she did.

I suspect this is more of the Trump trickledown we keep seeing.
