asked him what his party affiliation was. Voter stated that his affiliation
was "Independent". The poll worker stated to him that his only
choices were the candidates under the "Independent Party" and Voter
stated that it was his understanding that he could vote for whichever
candidate he wanted. The poll worker asked him if he was changing his party
affiliation, and the voter told her that he wasn't, but he just didn't wish
to vote Independent. The poll worker told him that he could only vote
"Independent", and that if he wanted to vote for another candidate,
he would have to wait four years and switch his party affiliatio |

The way the person at the poll was treating the person in front
of her was very rude. The voted had received this poll location in the mail
and after waiting in line for 40 minutes he was told it was the wrong
location. He challenged the guy and the guy said "You must be a
lawyer!" Then the worker snapped at the voter, said "It's not my
problem." The worker then lectured everyone there and told them which
district they were in and which machine they were to go to. He was really
rude and then he stopped everybody |
