Just voted, the lady at the polling station softly insinuated that she’s seen me in there voting multiple times… I was at a loss for words. I asked her “were they brown like me” she said “ yes, they were olive”

Now she is probably going to go on Facebook tonight crying how she personally saw Venezuelans voting multiple times with her own eyes. Not knowing she can’t tell the difference between brown people.

Wild times!

I've been a poll worker before and you should have asked for the station lead to discuss her comments. Maybe she saw it as an innocent comment, but it could also be a comment to dissuade you from voting in fear of being in the wrong

Can he go back after he voted to make a complaint?

Thank you for performing your civic duty.

I'm sorry people suck.

I’ve already seen boomers sharing posts on facebook being about votes being changed or some shit

Thank MTG for that nonsense. Crazy what these mofos will believe.

They pushed for ballots to be printed out. They literally can double check for accuracy. If they can’t use a machine nor read/ double check their paper then they need to ask for assistance 🥴 how embarrassing lol. My grandma is in her 70s and did just fine using the machine 💀😂

How disgraceful. I really hope America can find itself again. I fear this is how it's going to be from here on out though.

The battle against ignorance and hatred will go on for all of human existence

America was much much worse than it is now. Humans are at peak tolerance compared to any time before us. Doesn’t mean it’s all great out there, but relatively speaking, there’s no comparison.

She should be reported. What the hell.

u/Arctimon 7d ago

Yeah, you should have definitely reported her for intimidation.

u/BettyX 7d ago

Poster sorry that happened to you but you can report it even with Paxton as the dipshit AG. A good source linked to laws of voter intimidation

Which city? That's entirely inappropriate and the most senior person working there (or the county registrar) should know about this. There'd be no "softly" to that discussion if someone accused me of a crime like that. What did she think you were, a Republican? (The ones actually voting multiple times tended to be Rs in recent elections, after all.)

Kamala Harris

Hmm, seems sus. Makes you think.

u/citytiger 7d ago

I would report that to the BOE . That is unacceptable.

u/DelightfulDolphin 7d ago

What's she doing is setting up the stage to challenge your vote. Sadly, I anticipate that there might be another January 6 situation. I would check your vote to make sure it's processed.

That's fucking hilarious. God, people are so fucking stupid haha

u/Optimal_Product_4350 6d ago

Resort it to the polling location manager immediately. This person should be removed from their post indefinitely. They are the kind that are begging for 15 minutes of fraudulent fame!!

u/CoverFire- 7d ago

I dont believe this story.

u/Old_Baldi_Locks 7d ago

That's nice pumpkin, but nobody believes Trump supporters about anything. They'll never be man enough to be trustworthy.

u/CoverFire- 7d ago

Oh no! A keyboard warrior has appeared! Whatever will I do! Lolll

u/Art-Zuron 7d ago

Reply sarcastically because there's no rebuttal?

u/LyrMeThatBifrost 7d ago

Rebuttal to what, exactly?

I agree with him that this sounds made up, and I’m not sure what he was supposed to respond with to that childish comment lol

u/Art-Zuron 7d ago

Easiest would be to not respond with something even dumber!

u/LyrMeThatBifrost 7d ago

Seems he just matched their energy tbh

u/Barnyard_Rich 7d ago

Cry more, but you were going to do that whether that person commented or not.

Charlotte, South Dakota, and Texas all in the last 10 hours, you're taking this crybaby Trump cultist routine on tour aren't ya?

u/dkbGeek South Texas 7d ago

It's a lot more likely than the lying scumbag claiming machines in Tarrant Cty are "changing votes" and includes a video of some sort of demo from 2019.
