A Democrat poll worker was removed from a polling location last week following complaints of electioneering and election interference in Carmel, Indiana, according to a Sunday report.
On Thursday, poll worker James Zheng was accused of interfering with the voting process and officials later reportedly told him not to return Friday or Monday to the building on Mercy Road, per Chalkboard Review.
The outlet continued:
According to the election administrator, Beth Sheller, of Hamilton County, IN, Zheng was accused by local voters of telling black voters “…not to vote for the racist candidates outside” indicating a group of pro-parent candidates (beyond the electioneering boundary) running for school board in the Carmel-Clay school district. Two of the voters complained about this act of electioneering to the pro-parent school board volunteers outside, who reported this to the local inspector.
…
Additionally, Sheller confirmed another report that Zheng took a voter to the voting machines and, under the guise of “explaining the voting machines” preselected a straight-Democrat ticket for the voter. Several voters complained to the local election judges and inspector of Zheng’s actions, the inspector reporting some “didn’t know how to change it back.”
