Another thing about “election officers are people.” Everyone I have worked with takes elections seriously. They all “studiously endeavor” (a phrase from the officer oath) to do the right thing. But sometimes they get a little over eager.

Consider these directional arrows. They give us A LOT. I bet I have 20. Probably 10 in each direction. That makes sense because sometimes a polling place is a distance from the front door and you have to guide people. One of my officers today was trying to use ALL OF THEM. Again, from a desire to do the right thing, she thought we had to put up every sign that we were given. Some signs are required by law, others are just being helpful. If I hadn’t interrupted, she would have paved a yellow brick road with these things.
