has been assisting the democratic party in 's town

- helping with their website mostly

 

they asked if would be a monitor at the polls today

all had to do is

1 - KEEP QUIET

2. essentially - eavesdrop on conversations when voters come in to hear (a) street address and [hopefully] (b) name

3. check off on list that the certain person - on that street with that name who is a registered democrat has shown up

4. KEEP QUIET!

 

there is nothing illegal or improper in this as it is merely to see if your party is showing up

and if they aren't - get to the folks who aren't and get them there to vote

 

alot of the time really could not hear the person's name

because alot of the time the people checking them in don't saay it for various reasons

 

the other parties were doing this as well

so no complaint or issues on that

everyone got along splendidly

 

with the exception of the lady who was at the afternoon shift for the democrats

she said "gee. it is cold in here"

she was soundly SHHHHHed

and asked to remain outside

 

the KEEP QUIET rule was obviously taken VERY seriously by all

 

it was nice to see CLEAN elections in what is - otherwise a VERY conservative town

 

where a democratic candidate FINALLY

in decades and decades

won first selectman
