A Democrat poll worker is accused of pressing “straight Democrat ticket” on a voter’s electronic ballot and telling two black voters to not pull levers for pro-parent candidates, Fox News reported.
The accused reportedly was ejected from a polling place in Carmel, Indiana, where last week’s incidents took place; the polling place is under the auspices of the Hamilton County Election Office, the cable network said.
What are the details?
Hamilton County Election Administrator Beth Sheller declined to confirm the poll worker’s identity to Fox News, but she described to the cable network the contents of a report from a polling place inspector.
The first incident involved the poll worker in question urging two black voters who entered the polling station to not vote for pro-parent school board candidates, arguing that activists outside advocating for those candidates are “racist,” Fox News said.
The voters then cast their ballots and told the activists outside what the poll worker had told them, the cable network said. Among the activists was a campaign worker for one of the candidates, Fox News said, adding that the issue was soon raised with poll workers inside the polling place.
The polling place inspector then learned that the poll worker in question was assisting a voter with an electronic ballot and pressed the “straight Democrat ticket” option during the explanation, the cable network said. With that the voter was confused about how to change the selection and raised the issue with another nearby poll worker, Fox News said. That worker had the voter cast a legitimate ballot and then told the polling inspector what happened, Sheller told Fox News.
