Reply to comment by CharacterBrief9121 in was asked to confirm my address before voting. not a big deal but never heard of that by rogerjohnson11111

Did you even read the source you gave?

“Yes, but only for certain reasons and by certain people. An election official, poll watcher, or other voter may only challenge a voter on the grounds that the voter does not live in the precinct or the voter is not the person the voter says he or she is.”

OP stated this was not the case for them. And you are blatantly overlooking the fact that the poll worker said to them “Its a new thing we are trying this year” Re-read the posts, re-read your own sources. Re-assess.

What do you mean? Ops address was challenged, the book was covered to prevent fraud, op answered the challenge and nothing further was needed from the election official. I’m not sure what part of that you’re not understanding.

Are you not understanding why the election official would ask for name and address?

Are you not understanding why that official covered the book?

Do you not understand what a challenge is in this context?

Help me understand what you think is wrong and I’ll explain how it was perfectly legal and correct.

I reread ops post and his address was challenged he didn’t use those words but that’s exactly what happened and as for why the person said it’s a new thing, it’s not. It’s easier to explain it away to idiots though.

The context is he was challenged for no reason other than “We are trying something new this year.” That’s the context we were given. And I don’t know where you get the goose stepping angle from in your other replies. From what I can read, you and I are on the same side of this debate and you seem to be operating under the assumption that we are all “MAGA snowflakes”. The situation, as they described it, is odd. It’s noteworthy based on the election rules that even you posted here and that many of us are already aware of.

No he was challenged, it doesn’t matter why. I can see you at a polling place and challenge you for no reason other than I haven’t seen you before. It isn’t new, I just said that.

And this part(the challenge) isn’t political but I am tired of dumb asses who won’t read, won’t research, and push the same bullshit lies.

Look it up your self so you stop pushing bullshit. That’s why I’m mad.

But that’s not what the rules say. You can’t be challenged for any reason, why you’re being challenged DOES matter. It says it very clearly in the election rules you keep posting and that I’m already familiar with. I’m not claiming stolen election or fraud. But OP’s scenario is not in line with the rules. That’s all.

I understand your frustration, I have it too from the last few years of insanity. But if someone is willing to do anything even a little out of line, then they may be willing to do something else. It’s noteworthy is my only point.
