Bill Otto for State Rep

Maybe the best sign of the cycle. These are available if you'd like one.

Kathy & I worked the polls twice this year to see what it was like and to help out so we are on the email list for instructions for the upcoming election. We got this yesterday:

To: ALL Election Judges and Supervisors,

Due to the numerous complaints St. Charles County received about election judges and supervisors not wearing face masks, we have updated the rules for wearing face masks at the polling place.

1. No Voter can be forced to wear a face mask. We will have extra face masks on hand if a voter wants one.

2. Judges and Supervisors, you must keep a face mask near you (on your ear or on a lanyard) but when a voter says something to you about not wearing a face mask or not wearing it correctly. Please put it on properly. You may act surprised that you don't have a face mask on properly and then apologize as you put the mask on. Wear your mask correctly until the voter leaves the polling place. Please do this every time a voter says something to you.

3. This changes nothing for those of you who are refusing to work if everyone isn't being forced to wear a face mask all day long.

4. We realize that some of you can't for medical or personal reasons wear a face mask at all. If this new rule is not going to work for you, please change your availability to not available. We do understand and we hope you understand why we had to change the rules.

Thank you,

I guess some workers won't wear a mask unless a voter tells them to? Weird instructions

Seems a bit dubious anniversary considering the country was almost 150 years old before their mothers, wives, & daughters were allowed to vote. That said, 100 years is a great event to celebrate!
