I’ve never had an issue taking him. They’re always so welcoming, give him a sticker, joke about him participating. It’s just odd that this time the lady felt the need to be a Hawk.

Yeah, it is odd. I’m from a deep red area and my deeply conservative and kinda racist grandpa always took me with to vote. He’d even let me press the buttons on the machine. No even cared.

That said, the GOP of then is very different to the GOP of now. With all the election bullshit going on, I’m not surprised it’s a bit more contentious at the polls.

Same, my parents are super conservative. Never an issue, and yes I pressed buttons too. But this was a full the bubble in with a pen deal. He always watches. He loves being a part of it. I just don’t want him being afraid to go in the future. I want him to stay excited to vote. He got upset thinking he got me in trouble.

If you don't want him to be afraid stop acting like he has anything to be afraid of

Unless they are trying to fuck them like Matt Gaetz or defending the fucking of children like the entire GOP.
