5. I was an inspector of elections here in Pennsylvania for 12 years.

Nov 2021

I was elected because I think a handful of my neighbors wrote my name in, and after I received notice that I won, I served a term in my precinct. Ran twice again, got about a dozen votes each time (because the incumbent's name is NOT on the ballot), and continued to serve.

Come 2020, the county was scrambling for poll workers and reassigned me on an emergency basis to a nearby town. When I stopped a maskless woman there from entering the polls, all hell broke loose. The elections board didn't have my back, the bureau of elections didn't have my back, and I was instructed to let her in to vote despite all covid protocols.

I didn't win my precinct race in 2020 (the new judge is a TOTAL Trumper, prone to violence, and probably helped his equally crazy wife get elected as the inspector), and the bureau of elections never got back to me about serving as a clerk in the precinct in this month's election to make sure everything is being run on the up and up. My educated guess is that the judge and his inspector will cause shenanigans at my old polling place during next year's midterms.
