Possible shenanigans in NE Ohio

Man standing outside polling place telling people polls do not open until 7:30. When I pushed back he said he'd forgotten to set his watch back.

No one left the line and he left shortly after. I reported him to the precinct official.

If what he said about his watch were true, his time would show it being later than it was, not earlier.

and registered voter since 1992. Things were at their shadiest when Ken Blackwell was Sec'y of State. That's when we had the 2000 fuckery, the switch to Diebold that led to the 2004 fraudulent election, single booths in cities like Dayton and Akron, and so forth. 1992-1998 were ok, though.

BTW I have done election protection work for years in OH and nobody is
allowed to hinder anybody's access to the polls.
