On the way in I picked up a voting guide that stated only first time voters need to show ID. However, everyone was having to show an ID so when it was my turn I asked why and showed them the guide.

They all just looked at each other.

Finally one guy said they were being overly cautious. I asked why given it was not the law. He basically said they were doing it because they could.

By now you have guessed that I live in a deeply red state. The workers were obviously stupid Republicans.

We can't ignore stuff like this.

and another guy shouting the N word over & over.

Was it reported?

Pennsylvania Democrats Lose Ruling Over Trump Poll Watchers

A federal judge rejected arguments that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his political adviser Roger Stone are rallying supporters to intimidate minority voters on Election Day by acting as vigilante poll monitors and “ballot integrity” volunteers.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond in Philadelphia, on the eve of the general election, is a setback for Democrats who had sought a court order barring aggressive polling-place activity such as invasions of physical space, aggressive questioning and veiled or actual threats of physical violence that they claim could chill the turnout for Clinton.
The Democrats’ “belated, inflammatory allegations appear intended to generate only heat,” and don’t support claims that the Trump campaign threatened voting rights, Diamond said in a 16-page ruling.

Especially if she picks up the other swing states, and gets something crazy like Arizona or Georgia.
