I just got off the phone with my mother, my parents and son voted in early voting for Trump today. The lines are long about a hour or more. People are driving by the line and directly in front of the polling place screaming to vote trump out out their window. Before they went in to vote a guy stepped out after voting yelling to vote that bastard Trump out to the line of voters. Even though its red state (Indiana) , This is a blue county(Monroe), blue city (Bloomington). The Republican party gave up even running candidates in here its went so blue over the years with the IU Collage campus.
I looked it up my states law seems pretty clear..
Indiana A person who knowingly does any electioneering on election day within the polls, or the chute…commits a Class A misdemeanor. “Electioneering" includes expressing support or opposition to any candidate or political party or expressing approval or disapproval of any public question in any manner that could reasonably be expected to convey that support or opposition to another individual. The term does not include expressing support or opposition to a candidate or a political party or expressing approval or disapproval of a public question in material mailed to a voter or a telephone or an electronic communication with a voter. (Ind. Code § 3-14-3-16). “Chute" means the area or pathway that extends fifty (50) feet in length, measured from the entrance to the polls. (Ind. Code § 3-5-2-10)
They have people outside the polling door so I'm sure they know this is going on.
Update: Also for the 1st time ever the voting tables are "open" tables and people voting next to you can look over see who your voting for
The poll workers usually don't get involved with clearing folks out, at least around here. There's a cop at the polls on election day to deal with any issues of public order.
What's tough this election cycle is laws are not caught up with early voting in most jurisdictions. Is early voting "election day"? The exact letter of the law may not apply, nor might they have hired an officer.
Yea I'm note sure. I know they usually have the boundaries marked as far as people handing out pollical handout outs and so forth. Wasn't really a problem in 2016 at all. People just quietly lined up and voted..
