California Election Worker Removed for Wearing 'Trump 2020' Attire at Polling Place

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Californians have gone to the polls to cast their ballots in the state’s gubernatorial recall election. But at one polling place in West Hollywood there were some election “shenanigans” as Larry Elder might put it.

A poll worker was photographed at the voting site wearing a “Trump 2020” hat and a t-shirt that reads “Where’s Hunter?,” a reference to President Joe Biden’s son.

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, but the first posting of it on Twitter seems to have occurred on Monday, which would mean it was taken not on Tuesday – the last day to vote – but on Monday or earlier at a location where early in-person voting was available. The photo was posted by an unverified account, and it purported to be from the poster’s friend in West Hollywood.

Ultimately, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk confirmed that the man in the photo was indeed a poll worker. That is, until he was removed.

2. Doesn't that polling place have a supervisor?

If so, they weren't doing their job.

3. In California the head person at a polling place is titled "Inspector".

He/She should have been fired. I've done all the positions at a California Precinct several times.

5. In Texas we have Presiding Election Judges and Alternate Judges

If the presiding judge doesn't want to do anything then nothing will be done. I had several run-ins with the rancid r-voters, and I let the presiding judge know he needed to step up because what was happening wasn't right.

I got called an election nazi for telling the biker he couldn't electioneer inside the polling location. This was before trumpery but still kinda scared me. Thought he might come back with a gun.

4. Shouldn't he be fined, locked up and prevented from ever working as a poll worker again? nt

6. Really the way the law is worded and enforced,

all that usually happens is they are told to leave, and if they do, it's over. If it's a voter, we just tell them to take the hat off, cover the shirt with the jacket they are wearing, or turn the shirt inside out etc. Usually they do, many just aren't aware of the rule and didn't understand the word "electioneering" on the signs.
