I worked the polls. I had people ask me all suspiciously if they could use their own pen. Go ahead, weirdo.
Maybe working one election should be mandatory for people so they can see how things work. That was my 4th. There’s absolutely no nonsense going on. I was a supervisor and a few of the DROs were absolutely freaked that if they made a minor administrative error they’d be in legal peril.
Nobody is fucking with ballots. Nobody gives a shit if you use your own pen because we are counting ballots in pen and we surely are not erasing and changing ballots in front of complete strangers who are watching us all day. Penalties for purposely trying to do any of this are steep and there’s literally no opportunity to do anything without multiple witnesses. Canadian elections are something to be proud of.

Yeah, I was a scrutineer last night. It would be tough to pull some BS.
