Democratic Poll Worker Fired from Martin Cnty, FL Precinct 44 for reporting incompetent Precinct
Clerk.

In Precinct 44, the Clerk and Assistant Clerk is a husband/wife team. The wife is the Clerk, but delegates everything to the husband. The two barely managed to get the Precinct open in time, and are not aware or the law regarding voter names not being mentioned. At closing the daring duo could not balance the vote counts and did not seal the ballot box. That's pretty much incompetent management. The county's solution was to fire me for reporting the discrepancies.

2. I've just reported it to someone fairly high on the Obama food chain in FL
and to the FDP email address.

It should be on their RADAR.

4. I've let the Marting Cnty SoE know I wish to be a poll watcher. I know the law and how the workers
are to conduct themselves.

6. For God sake's...
When I pointed out discrepancies and inconsistencies in a grade school create-your-own-country project we did in groups, everyone appreciated me for it because we got really good marks on it...And we were 13-14...lol

8. When I left the precinct that night I thought I had unwittingly committed election fraud. And now,
nobody is watching them in the real general election. That pair is not competent unless they have been given a lot of training since then.

BTW you can find my report here on DU.

9. Considering we did not tally the votes and released an unsealed ballot box to a single driver for
delivery to the county. That smelled like a dry run for ballot stuffing.

10. Good for reporting this. I came here today asking where to report a VIOLENT attack on Obama
I got answers RIGHT NOW!!!

DU'ers are wonderful. I'm so thankful we can get answers QUICK when the need arises.

I hope that husband and wife team get FIRED!!! They really sounded incompetent.
