Poll workers were talking about the last debate right next to me

[Ilsa]

while I was casting my ballot. Old coot was complaining about Obama sounded surly on the response about the number of ships in the Navy, etc. The other old guy explained to him that Obama had a point, that less heavy weaponry like ships was needed in modern warfare.

It distracted me momentarily and pissed me off, but I got even by voting only for Democrats. No Repub got my vote, even in uncontested races.

1. You should've been pissed off - that ain't supposed to be happening within 100 feet or something of

a polling place.

6. I just placed the call to county elections office. They said they'd

Make a phone call out there to remind workers not to discuss ANY of the candidates.

8. Good for you!!

2. At least there was somebody presenting Obama's side, not chiming in. But I'd call the elections

board for your county and complain. There's no way that poll worker doesn't know he CAN'T do that shit!

3. You should have told them to politely shut the fuck up

They are not supposed to be doing that.

4. Guess they skipped the poll training that tells them not to discuss any candidate.

5. Please call the Chief Election Inspector, or whatever your State calls them

for the polling place and make a courteous, yet firm complaint. If you don't get any satisfaction, call the municipal and county clerks.

Thank you!

7. Done. They took me seriously.

At the same time, I told them that I appreciate the poll workers' service, but that they have to follow the same rules as the voters.
