One Problem In The Vote

In reading Citizen Smash, I came across the story of Irish Lass, who was harrased by a poll worker. That she should not have worn the shirt is pretty much a given, but what was done by the worker was way beyond the pale.

It was sexual harrasment.
It was intimidation.
It was a flagrant abuse of power.
It was not within the rules under which he operated.

For any and all of these reasons, the matter needs to be dealt with to the fullest extent possible. I hope she does file charges, and I hope that the people she contacted do so as well. This type of petty officialdom is exactly what the Founding Fathers wanted to eliminate. It needs to be rooted out, and I hope that it is.
