5. They all counted in my precinct. But there were other problems.
I did spot a problem. Sorry, but very old people have got to stop being election assistants. It's not so bad when you have one or two in a group, but when all the election assistants in a precint are old, you get problems. From the little I saw, they're not very quick on the draw and they tend to get very short with the voters when they are in unfamiliar territory.

I also overheard one old lady assistant try to make small-talk with a voter and I thought she was condescending and intrusive. Also, the old clerk was too slow to stop a man from walking in carrying a political sign and from stopping someone who wanted to be photographed inside the polling area. The deputy was also old, and should have stopped these activites, but obviously didn't.
