I'll be an election judge this year for the first time, and nowhere in the training materials does it say what to do if someone comes in to the polling place looking for one of their escaped pokey mans.

Well, if they've registered, you let them vote and if they aren't you boot them.

If your local polling place is a gym and you take it over with a trainer whose name is, say, "ImWithHer," is that illegal electioneering?

How about setting a lure outside the polling place to turn out the vote?
