The lawyer for the El Paso County GOP, John Buckley, first takes down an Obama sign from across the street to the polling place, blames it on poll workers, then 2 McCain worker show up to place signs closer than this new several hundred foot limit. They also come equipped with some silliness about firecrackers being thrown at kids (by kids) It turns out to be as false as the fire alarm pulled at the Centennial Hall polling place. As usual, the first order of business in a controversy is to suspend the first amendment right of the free press and rewrite the laws on public "reasonable expectation of privacy". People cheating and breaking the law hate this open society that exposes them. In the end, no big deal, just the usual wrangling by a loosing party, desperate to take an election the way they're used to taking them. The punk squad also misrepresented what they knew nothing about to Buckley: that a person coming to vote carried up an Obama sign and the poll workers told them the law: you can't come within 100 feet with that sign, so they folded it and put it in the trash. The poll workers thought that might be a violation too, since it was visible in the open trash if you looked inside, so removed it, and these 2 guys witnessed the removal, abut claimed the poll workers themselves were electioneering within 100 feet. Earlier Buckley threw out observers from the floor who were later allowed back in because they had a right to be there as credentialed by various ballot initiatives. Another GOP poll worker threw out a woman looking up registrations for people and claimed she was electioneering and causing a "disruption". I taped her helping people and she found some at the wrong precinct, directed others to the correct line (3 precincts at this polling place) and caught some mail in ballots that needed to be taken downtown. Never a word about any political issues. (of course) Otherwise, where I was: West Middle School, Colorado College, Palmer High, and Hillside, the early voting long lines ended up making shorter lines on election day. Now if we can just get the lines down to the 2 hour limit that state law requires and employer give employees off to vote, we'll have a match and reasonable election day.
