Heard poll worker ask departing voter "Did you vote right?" which I wondered
if it were some kind of code. Nah, must be paranoid for surely "right" in this instance did not mean "'puke."

1. Are you paranoid or right
and by the way, that is voter intimidation

2. Go left and you'll be right, go right and you'll be left
Sorry, punch line from an old train station joke about asking directions.

3. I'd say it could be
asking someone if everything went OK. I would have taken it to mean "did it work right?"

Most poll workers I've encountered aren't bad, usually overworked but not bad. Then again I haven't voted in areas where voter intimidation is that rampant, and I'm usually bigger than the poll workers so they might be the intimidated ones ;-)

4. That's voter intimidation, as someone already pointed out
They should be reported.

5. I don't care what the context of that poll workers' question was,
YOU NEED TO REPORT IT and the poll worker. That is election interference and intimidation no matter which way the voter voted.

6. This has been going around the office today,
and as my boss was informing me that I could leave early to vote, he said it as he left my cubicle: "Don't forget to vote right" .. I can't believe it! The funny thing was that I was surfing DU at the time and had it full screen. HA!
