| The election warden apparently pulled the rule out of his a$$. He's still citing "safety concerns". The election warden has been dismissed. |

| #3 Good to see this was handled properly, and fairly quickly. Bad that this is one of many, many stories of illegal interference in the right to vote of legitimate, properly registered voters... not to mention stories of voting by illegitimate voters, whether or not properly registered. One day, perhaps someone will investigate how this election compares to those in the past for such little games. |

| #2 Is this a big deal? No. Is it a little deal? Probably not even that. Should the cop be irate? No, maybe just a little peeved at the inconvenience. Should the warden be the final authority in the polling place, the captain of the ship/pilot of plane, as it were? Maybe. BUT, what does it say about any individual in charge or ay aspect of "public safety" to order a cop to disarm? Or worse, what does it say about any individual, regardless of position? Maybe the POTUS can arrange a beer and photo op? |

| #1 One wonders who else the 'election warden' turned away. |
