I've seen all sorts of voter suppression and discouragement when I worked in elections.

I call this type "Santa's little helpers." The creativity of the elves is nothing short of amazing. They get away with it because they take advantage of the confusion of the system.

This sort of thing should be reported immediately--on voting day. Ultimately these sleezeballs should have to answer for it and be removed. If incidents are reported, the offending precinct will be investigated.
