My Florida poll watching experience - the MAGA mens' fear is real!

As many of you know, I live in a small rural, ruby red FL county that is predominantly, but not entirely, retirees. I'm one of the founders of our Democratic Women's Club chapter and am active in the local Democratic party.

This is my 3rd election cycle volunteering as a poll watcher for the Democratic Party.

Maybe because I've been reading so much about it and was more attuned to it. Maybe it's happened each time and I didn't notice, but on a busy afternoon of early voting, I saw several couples, where the man seemed to be really focused on the woman's vote.

Once a person gets their ballot and goes to a "booth," which is really a table with sides, their vote is their own. The booths are set very closely together, but you are not allowed to converse with the other voter, or check what they are doing. The precinct clerk and one other poll worker monitor, as they can, and will tell people, politely, that they can't talk.

Yesterday, in walks a couple in their 30s, I'd guess. The greeter directs them to station 4 and 5 to get checked in, right next to each other. The man seemed nonplussed that they weren't being processed together and kept looking, just a few inches to his right, like he had to be checking on his wife pulling out her ID. I noticed it right away.

The worker announced the wife as a first time voter. We all cheered (it's a sweet custom). The couple got their ballots and proceeded to 2 booths near where I was watching.

Husband, who is quite tall, immediately started looking over the top of the booths to watch his wife fill out her ballot, talking to her all the way. Clerk could not see this from where she was.

I got up, walked to the clerk (the only person I can talk to in the polling place) and told her that the couple was talking. She thanked me and went to tell them they couldn't do that.

Husband accused her of spying on his ballot! She assured him she was not, he grumbled, they cast their ballots and left.

Clerk thanked me again and told me what the guy said. I told her I thought the whole thing was creepy. She nodded in agreement.

I witnessed a few other instances of couples talking and the men being kind of watchful, but nothing as egregious as the first.

I do think MAGA men are spooked.



Oooh look!  A real life Kamala commercial!!

Stealing another Caver's meme:


If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

From the Babylon Bee:


Wife Breathes Sigh Of Relief After Voting For Trump In The Privacy Of Her Voting Booth Away From The Watchful Eye Of Creepy Feminist Husband

A local woman reveled in her secret exercise of freedom today and breathed a sigh of relief after voting for Donald Trump in the privacy of her voting booth away from the watchful eye of her creepy feminist husband.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous to avoid drawing the ire of her stay-at-home husband, said she felt a sense of pride and duty as she cast her vote for Trump, something her husband would never approve of if he knew.

"I just have to follow my conscience, even if it goes against my husband," she said. "He tries to pressure me to vote a certain way… but I'm in favor of lower taxes, cheaper groceries, a stronger economy, secure borders, and peace around the world. No amount of pouting and weak sobbing from my soy-boy husband is going to change that. Make America great again, baby."

So, :bouncy:-man is "in (his) 30s", has therefore voted in 5 or 10 elections, and is "nonplussed" (= Bewildered, puzzled) by the polling station procedure he's seen 5 or 10 times before? :rotf:

The :bouncy: needs a forcibly confiscated MAGA hat, truck nuts, and bushes-concealed applauding cops to improve the plausibility of this :bouncy:-tale!

Are you sure this is satire? And not about the wife of some cis-male-identifying DU Denizen?

I think this bouncy would be way more fun if it was proven out to be a democrat man who was worried that his wife was voting Trump, just like USA4ME posted from the Bee!

But here's the thing that would stop that from 'bee'ing real.  IF that was the case the woman would simply tell her 'man' how he was going to vote and that would be that.  There is NO way a liberal 'man' would ever defy a woman.  A REAL woman.

What does a Doug Emhoff-Kunallah Harris husband tell his wife with two black eyes?

Nothing. She's already been told to vote Harris-Walz twice.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

That post was so blatant as to be ridiculous.

Yes. Yes there are.

I watched a video of a "stronk, independent womyn" pouring windshield washer fluid in her poor car's CRANKCASE, not long ago. She recorded it herself, to demonstrate how "[she] don't need no man"...
