    So, my wife is an elected precinct committee person and last election we were tasked with watching a ballot box to make sure nothing went wrong and nobody was intimidated.

    We parked on the other side of the street about a block down and just… watched.

    It was fine!

    But it was also only on the very last day…

      That’s neat, but not really what comes to mind when I hear “guards.”

      Were you two prepared to intervene if someone started lighting the box on fire?

        Definitely, I wasn’t going to let her do it by herself and I have a concealed carry permit. ;)
