4. I would disagree, but I'm not with SoS in Mass

His being there as the spouse of one of the candidates; inside a polling area not outside; when he's not a registered voter of the state much less the precinct should be a violation

His presence should be treated as a form of campaigning
I did the polling station in California in the 80's a few times and the law said that non-precinct voters were not to be in the polling area during election time unless they were doing business of the California Secretary of State or helping the physically challenged.
Were that California, I would guess his presence would qualify as a flagrant violation
