After seeing Attorney Bruce L. Castor, Jr., formerly President Trump’s Impeachment lawyer, and Marly Hornik, founder of United Soverign Americans, on 30 June, 2024 WarRoom, they reminded me of one of the many reasons the Posse began volunteering to help safeguard one of our most important civil rights – our elections. The reason why I wrote this article is because of the many questions I receive about the various jobs on Election Day, their responsibilities, which ones can they volunteer, and how can they proceed. I hope this helps you understand the importance of taking part in one of these roles on Election Day.
Elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and their success depends on the diligent efforts of those who volunteer on Election Day. For Republicans, stepping up in these roles is vital for balanced representation and transparency. A thorough grasp of federal and state election laws is key to upholding the integrity of the process, vital for balanced representation and transparency. Here’s a detailed look at each position, their responsibilities, and why it’s important for Republicans to participate actively in these roles.
Poll workers assist voters, follow procedures, and handle administrative tasks, including checking in voters, issuing ballots, managing voting equipment, and closing the polling place. During recounts, they verify the accuracy of the initial count. By serving as poll workers, Republicans help achieve balanced representation, increase clarity, and prevent irregularities, boosting voter confidence.
Election judges oversee polling place operations, ensuring adherence to election laws. They supervise poll workers, manage provisional ballots, address voter concerns, and secure the polling place. In recounts, they ensure all steps are correctly followed. Republican election judges are essential for maintaining the integrity of the process, promoting fairness, and ensuring compliance with legal standards.
Election clerks handle administrative tasks and maintain records at the polling place. They manage provisional ballots, assist voters, and complete end-of-day paperwork. In recounts, they verify records. Republican clerks play a vital role in maintaining precise record-keeping and administrative efficiency, crucial for election integrity.
Observers monitor the election process to uphold fairness and openness. They document and report irregularities and confirm accountability. During recounts, they safeguard accuracy and report discrepancies. Republican observers ensure the process is impartial and free from bias, enhancing public trust.
Registrars maintain voter registration records and confirm voter eligibility. Their duties include updating voter rolls, verifying identities, processing new registrations, and managing absentee ballot applications. During elections, they troubleshoot registration issues. Republicans serving as registrars maintain accurate voter records and prevent fraud, ensuring only eligible voters can cast ballots.
Poll watchers are designated by political parties or candidates to observe the election process. They watch the check-in process, ensure voters are who they claim to be, and note any irregularities. Poll watchers cannot interfere but can raise concerns with election officials. Republicans volunteering as poll watchers validate the fairness and lawfulness of the election, deterring misconduct and reassuring voters.
Learning ballot counting is beneficial. In the event of machine breakdowns, understanding manual counting procedures ensures the process can continue without disruptions. This knowledge is essential for maintaining vote accuracy and legitimacy.
To sign up, Republicans can contact local election offices, often with online sign-up forms available. State election websites also provide information. Reaching out to local or state Republican Party organizations can coordinate volunteer efforts. Online platforms like the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) offer resources. Engaging with community organizations is another way to get involved. Completing required training sessions, which cover procedures and equipment use, is essential.
Republican participation in Election Day activities is crucial for ensuring a fair, clear, and efficient process. By engaging in roles such as poll workers, election judges, clerks, registrars, observers, and poll watchers, Republicans uphold election integrity, foster community engagement, and strengthen our self-governing system. Signing up through local election offices, state websites, or Republican Party organizations allows Republicans to actively support constitutional republic principles.
*** NEXT MAN UP ***
Okay, I hardly ever comment, because it usually is an exercise in futility. But I will in this case, because I think these ideas need to be discussed. I agree with and appreciate what the writer(s) of this article are trying to do. But there is one very large pachyderm in the room that most, on either side of this discussion, would like to just ignore. That is, that probably most elections in this country, at nearly every level, are fixed, handicapped, or heavily tampered with, so that nothing we can do is going to make even the smallest difference as to the outcome. In Arizona, where I live, Trump probably won the 2020 election by 40 points. Yet, magically, he lost by a mere 10K votes. We sued everyone, nearly all suits were never heard in court, but were dismissed for lack of standing. Pursuant to all the fraud and blatant illegal chicanery, our legislature passed laws and voting procedures to stop what happened in 2020 from ever happening again. Yet, again magically, it happened in 2022 where the demons in human skin stole every state office save a couple and have turned Arizona nearly as far left as Colorado. So here we are, getting ready to fight the good fight, and play by the rules and rely on our institutions of justice and fairness, that we can beat this beast and put America back to where it was in 2020. I and most everyone I know will once again give to the legislators that we think we know, and show up to vote in a state that plans to allow illegal aliens to vote in federal elections. But one thing will be different. Some of us, are pretty sure that the end of the age will come before justice, and that it is just possible that communism, has destroyed another country. A little over four months from now, we will see who is right, and I pray to God Almighty that it isn’t me.
