This election cycle I offered to help the GOP as a "poll challenger". I had no idea what this even was until last Thursday. I had the ability to challenge nefarious activity and voter fraud at the polls...I didn't do any of that. All I did was keep a list of registered Republicans who I'd cross off the list if they voted. Then, at 5 pm, I dropped my book of people who voted to the GOP so they could call the ones who didn't to remind them to vote.
The area I was sent to was a majority of white folks. I probably sat through about 300 voters passing through. Of that number there were maybe 12 people who were minorities as far as identity politics stuff goes. Latinos, some "black" folks, one arabic fellow, and a few folks of Indian ethnicity. While not even half of the white voters who came through were registered Republicans... Every single one of my minority voters in that precinct, during my 5 hour time slot, was a registered Republican. I thought that was super awesome. For all the alleged racism the republican party is blamed for against minorities,...there I was witnessing every single minority in this small slice of America totally not buying into the lie.
One other observation- some very disheveled people who look like they just rolled out of bed and haven't showered in a week, they weren't on my lists...not saying they were all democrats...I'm just saying they weren't registered republicans. It definitely picked up after 4 pm when many working people starting funneling in....about half of those were registered republicans.
