Tomorrow will be my third election volunteering at my son's school. I'll again set up some benches as 'barricades' and stand (or sit) between the voting area & the rest of the school to keep voters from wandering down the hall.
It's been easy & peaceful each time, but you know what I'll have to leave in the car. sigh
Kinda like a human 30.06 sign, I'll just be reminding the honest people to stay out.

Thank YOU for your service to our nation.
Volunteering to assist in holding elections is an important duty in a free nation.

Since I couldn't
use my license, I decided to use it as my photo ID for voting.
The bar code on the back doesn't pull up anything in the system (like the voter registration card or driver license does), so they had to type in my info. Other than that, it went without a hitch.

Did someone ask for your ID? Or did you just not have your voter registration card?

I didn't have my voter registration card.
But since I voted on the R side, I got to say yes to the platform initiative to push for the Lege to require photo ID for voting. (And with 45.6% of precincts reporting statewide, just over 93% have said yes.)
Funny how most D's don't like the idea for voting, but they required a photo ID to get into their debate in Austin.

Because the Dems don't want any Republicans sneaking in to do the job that Democrats won't do.
Like demanding real questions and real answers from both candidates.

The wife and I voted in primaries last night. I was surprised to see the way the Hilly crowd acted. It was wierd. They ran up to us like panhandlers and frantically told us to make sure we voted for Hillary. Then, when we were leaving, they ran up again and told us we needed to go back and go to the caucus' too. We told them thanks but no thanks, and a few of them got very rude and angrily told us we really should go back in. Very strange evening.
