I was a birther so I woke up just prior to Obama getting into office. I followed all the birther news.
FWIW His BC online was already identified as fake by other professionals. Sherrif Joe Ariapio
But the IMPORTANT part to remember is it was Donald Trump who came out and said something about Obama's BC that caused them to put the fake BC online!
I am working the polls in NC.
RIght now the Republicans are leading the Dems in early voting.
What people fail to take into consideration is that most Unaffiliated Voters in NC also vote Republican (My hubby is one of them)
And there will also be a number of registered Dems here who will vote all Republican. I know of one individual in my area who came out to see Mark Robinson at a meet and greet who told me he is a registered Dem who votes all Republican and his wife is Unaffiliated and she does the same.
One voter came into the polling station when I was working the front desk on the first day of early votingand she was surprised to see she was a registered Dem. I told her it is too late to change her party affiliation, but that she could vote for whoever she wanted since it is a general election. Said she had not voted in awhile, but she was voting for Trump.
Good to hear! I was off today from working the polls here in NC since I have a bible study group I attended in the am. That didn’t stop the county Board of Elections from calling me anyway to see if I could come into help out. Apparently they are swamped again today. Early voting started last Thursday here in NC. And the lines haven’t quit.
The only thing is it’s a general election so how can they stop her from voting red all down her ballot? They can’t.
But she should aim to fix her party affiliation after this election (not able to do this now in NC) so she can vote in future primaries
Was told at my state Republican Convention where I attended a meeting on election integrity that once the cheat occurs it is harder to contest it. We found this out in 2020.
It is much easier to be proactive and stop cheating BEFORE an election.
True but my precinct has NO internet at all. I live in a very rural county. I trust my own county to tally the votes correctly bc I know all the Election Board members.
What I don't trust is what happens when these same results go on to the State Board of Elections.
We hand deliver the thumb drive of the DS2000 with all the votes on it to the County and they download it and send it in to the state.
But if an election is contested those hard copy ballots are kept and counted up by hand later on.
We don't have Dominion voting machines in NC. We have paper ballots that are scanned into a machine and results are tabulated. The scanner is called a DS2000.
If the machine switched my vote I would never know bc all it says is I voted after the paper ballot goes into the slot.
But we do have paper ballots that can be hand counted if they are needed to be done.
He was given a provisional ballot.
As a poll worker in NC I was told if anyone insists on voting we give them a provisional ballot. We write the reason they were given a provisional ballot for the Election Board to also review.
It is not a poll workers decision to accept a provisional ballot. It is the County Board of Election. We have both Democrats and Republicans on our BOE.
