View from the ground
I'm a 50th District poll worker for today's election (my wife volunteered me for the position, and it's my first time). It's been extraordinarily busy for the first five hours today, with a steady stream of voters of all ages.
Only problem of note was a voter who showed up before the polls opened wearing a "Lock Her Up" t-shirt -- he wanted to argue that he was exercising his freedom of speech and that Hillary wasn't on the ballot, and demanded to be shown where it wasn't allowed when I told him it was not permissible.
Told him it was a political electioneering message and pointed out on the sign outside the polling place where it said "No electioneering within 100 feet". He apparently was prepared for this, and had changed to a "Retired Veteran" shirt when the polls opened but still acted dickish when registering to vote.
Anyway, this has been a very busy day so far. It will be interesting to see what the Hunter/Campa-Najjar vote will be. This is still a very red district and there a lots of mail ballots, so it may be a few days before that result is announced.
