There were lots of signs and canvassing in the parking lot. Once I got inside and was waiting in line, an old woman was walking up and down the line of people waiting asking who they were voting for governor. Most people ignored her, but the lady next to me said "Hogan", and this woman then proceeded to tell her she was voting for a Trump supporting racist who hated Muslims and "Mexicans".
I told her there was no electioneering within 100 feet of the building, and that she needed to leave. She then called me a racist, too, and continued down the line of people with her schtick.
When I got inside the voting area, I told an election judge what she was doing, and she just shrugged and said "yes, people have been complaining about her all morning, we'll look into it".
When I came back outside in the hallway after voting, she was gone. Dunno where she went.
I would've recorded her doing this, except there were signs displayed that prohibited any recording or photos within a polling location. Rules mean things to me, unlike her, I suppose.
I hope she runs into someone who doesn't appreciate her tactics, and physically shows her the door.
I'll take things that never happened for 1000 Alex.

I probably would have stepped to the nearest door, stepped outside but held the door open and recorded her on my phone from there. Then I would have sent the video to one of the local TV stations about being harassed by electioneering inside the polling place.
Or, you could've just voted for Jealous, in which case that would've proved that you in fact weren't a racist.
But it sounds like PP voted for hogan, which of course proves just the opposite.
