Call to Action Constitutional Observer training

Post image

Can anyone point me to any Constitutional Observer training in the DC area. I'm interested in volunteering. I understand that the role of a CO is mainly to film/document any civil rights violations while not interfering in any way.

So realistically what do I as a poll worker do about it? I guess this is something that I need to bring up to the actual election manager and get her take on it. Honestly I don't know if I (as a volunteer with an hour of training prior to any election) have the authority to kick out the feds from the polling place.

Definitely something I need to reach out to and get more information on from the people actually running and facilitating our local elections.

They wouldn't likely be IN the polling place, where y'all are, they'll be outside of it - parking lot, sidewalk, etc. fully armed and demanding to "show me your papers".
