Got to go all Liberal Redhead Texas No Bullshit Nasty Woman at the local polling place today.

I walk in and the woman working the front, an absolute pit bull of a human, is yelling that everyone has to have a photo ID to vote. Au contraire, mean white lady. That law was struck down.

I walk up to her. “Are you an official poll worker for the State of Texas, or an observer?” She starts puffing up like a pissed off toad. “I am an OFFICIAL Poll Worker.”

“Then I am sure you know a photo ID is not required to vote in Texas any more?”

“Who the hell are you? I AM AN OFFICIAL!” She’s yelling now. Everyone turns to stare.

This is not going to end well for her.

“Well, then you’re either making up your own laws or are ignorant and don’t need to be near a polling place. Do you not have pile of affidavits that people can sign if they don’t have a photo ID? Their voter registration card, a bill, you know those are valid with a signed affidavit, right? Do you not have those papers printed and ready to go?”

“Who the HELL do you think you are?!”

“I’m someone who is about to call down every last flame of hell on your ass for voter suppression in your official role as an election official. DO YOU HAVE THE FORMS PRINTED AND AVAILABLE?”

Silence.

“I’ll take that as a “no.” I’m going to go make some phone calls. Have a delightful day, sweetheart.”

I walked out and got on the phone. Local Dems knew exactly who she was and they swooped into whatever action was appropriate for swooping. This is their gig.

For those of you who live in states that just got your voter ID laws struck down, watch for this. And if you see it, don’t ignore it. Make one phone call to your local Democrats and they will gleefully handle it. They’re ready and eager.
