(7,263 posts)In Red Counties they are going to vote rethug.
In Blue Counties they are going to vote mostly Democratic.
And in all polling places I have worked in it is pretty much the same. (I also delivered lunch and supplies to several dozen polling places as part of the Kerry Ground Game on election day 2004 so I have seen a lot of how they all operate.)
And at most polling places the Supers median age is somewhere south of the 1950's. And they have protoge's who have been waiting in the wings since 1969.
No one runs for these spots because they (the regulars) are appointed by the county/town/city board.
There are both minority and majority inspectors in all polling places too. Plus lately both parties have had volunteer attorneys either as official poll watchers or on call to all polling sites. The supervisor does not operate in a vacuum.
I think PA's system is solid, the folks who run the polls are all older and have lots of integrity as far as their responsibilities go. Kinda like the guy in GA.
This does not scare me at all, at least in PA.
Our legislature on the other hand is being run by RW wackos, has been for years. But as long as we have a Democratic Governor PA will be ok.
