  1. Election judges…are those real judges? The sworn/in kind? Or are they like beauty contest judges. Some of them seem to think that elections are subjective and based on their whims. Maybe these people should be pollsters instead of “judges”. The job of election “judge” should definitely be made riskier and less attractive to these people. Felony charges are a good start.
