Republicans Kicking Democrats Out Of Polling Locations: Chesapeake, Virginia

9. Texas Election Code prohibits cell phones inside the voting location.

We are provided laminated signs which we display prominently. The only active cell phones permitted are the Presiding and Alternate Judges because we have to be able to contact the Elections Office if we have issues.
There is also a firearms prohibition.

If voters tell us they want to look at the choices or read about the candidates, we ask them to leave the voting area to do so. We will gladly give them a sample ballot if requested, or tell them how to find it on their device. We will not even let them take photos of themselves inside. They can do it outside and if we are not busy, one of us will often take the picture

No photographing of any ballots, etc.

Our machines are not wireless; they are daisy chained, and the machine which generates the voting machine access code for the correct ballot is the first machine.

The only thing we use wireless for is voter check in. Cute little E Vote Pads

Poll watchers have to be trained at the Elections Office, then registered. They will have appointment paperwork which we must see before we will give them the badges etc.

I do not know what the new Election Code will require regarding Poll watchers. We really won't know until the primary
