(7,968 posts)One of the proudest moments of my life when I poll watched for the Democratic Party in Florida in 2004. Got one of the Republican watchers removed (they had one too many); everyone voted ... no provisional ballots at our double poll site; (bogus grounds for trying to make a voter cast a provisional as opposed to a regular ballot were defeated by us); poll watcher in his 80's was told he could not vote at the precinct where he was working/ we shut that down and he VOTED (probably for Kerry based on demographics). I realized Democracy rests on one vote at a time.
Worst night of my life when we lost that election ... up until 2016.
Thank you for shutting down the Republican obstructionists. I know how obnoxious they can be (sometimes the more well-healed poll watchers are the Republicans and they can intimidate the poll workers).
