Becoming involved in the Polls, and School Board

[Manimal]

Are y'all tired of people ruining the state? Many of us have the same issue...we're vocal, reasonable, and sadly uninvolved. We have to get on School Boards and involved in Election Integrity so that we can prevent as much theft and manipulation as possible, and to deny wokism through actual awareness. Here is how to get involved in the Polls/Voting Process: https://precinctstrategy.com/becoming-a-precinct-committeeman-step-by-step/


If anyone has tips on becoming part of the School Boards in La, please share. We need neighborhood schools again, which is really a pipe dream for the educational system, and if that doesnt happen we can at least put speed bumps on the road to calamity.

If YOU aren't taking these positions, some young woke and hateful liberal is....

I’m in education. To become part of the school board you just need to register to get on the ballot and then win. In some parishes there are many school members which makes it easy to run and win but they hold little power. In other large parishes with fewer members it is much more political and you will have to campaign in win.

State legislators play a big role in what goes on in education. Vote or run or at the very least let them know how you feel. Also don’t forget about BESE board members

If you'd rather a liberal take part than a libertarian or a republican....

Why do I feel like that is personal? I'd rather you on the School Board than a liberal, even though you're an authoritarian...at least, I think, you're slightly conservative anyway. I'm more conservative than the vast majority of conservatives, but am not authoritarian. Why you wouldn't want me to watch elections...no idea, pretty sure that I haven't ever been known as a dishonest person.

But hey, go ahead and derail a thread that can help people better their community, so you can take a jab at someone online. Super effective way to spread your philosophy. I guess you have job security and a post like this may lead to less crime, and you and your brothers having a safer job. Law 3, check.

School boards have VERY limited power these days. Our legislature gutted them around 10 years ago.

Signed up to be a poll worker in WBR. Training class took all of 1 hour and 15 minutes. A couple of people in the class have worked polls before and said that 90% of the training will be OJT. However, it did cover all the checks and balances, how to verify the voting machines integrity, and what to do when an irregularity occurs. Even if I never get called to work a poll, I'm confident in the process.

Just waiting for the phone call from the Commissioner-In-Charge to get my polling place assigned. Our next election is November 8th. Have to report at the polling place at 0530 to set up shop.

Attached are the requirements to become a poll worker. The link to "Informational Pamphlet for Election Day Voting" is worth a read even if you never intend to work a poll. https://www.sos.la.gov/ElectionsAnd...InformationalPamphletForElectionDayVoting.pdf

Thank you!

Thank you!

You're quite welcome. Just doing my part for Democracy. By the way the requirements and procedures are the same in every parish. Just get with the parish Clerk of Court and sign up. Can't say for anywhere else but in WBR they are begging for poll workers. In the training class it was mentioned that here and there poll workers have been brought in from out of parish to fill the slots.

This explains so much LOL

When I voted today there were problems with the voting machines...specifically with the selection of School Board candidates.

High probably that a wrong lockout button was pressed. Lockouts work this way. Let's say that half your precinct votes for dog catcher because it is in the city limits. Being out of the city limits means you don't get to vote for dog catcher. What happens when someone from outside the city limits comes to vote they will see that dog catcher is on the ballot but are not eligible to vote on it. Pressing the predetermined lockout button will lock them out of voting on that issue.

More information can be found starting on page 49 of the Informational Pamphlet for Election Day Voting.

I understand, however in this case I walked in the room and they said, "We are having trouble with this machine, let us know if you cant choose who you want and we'll put you on another machine. It's not letting some people pick the School Board candidate they want."

It did not sound nefarious but little things like that are enough for a lot of people to not take the time to select who they intended, because they just don't want to take 20 seconds to make it happen. People are often lazy. If 1 in 10 people did not re-vote, when tens of thousands of people vote, it would make a big difference!

I selected each candidate and did not experience a problem.
