Re: Poll workers don't ask about my gun anymore
The way the statute is worded, it sure appears to me that they do need to be at the polling station at all times. "It has always been" doesn't mean it's right.
Duties of a Constable
Protecting the Polls
Constables are also charged by Pennsylvania statute with maintaining order at election polls and ensuring that no qualified elector is obstructed from voting. Constables are the only peace officers permitted at the polls on Election Day. In fact this duty is mandated upon constables; failure to protect the polls, or provide for their protection through appointed deputies, is punishable with a fine.

§ 7152. Elections.http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/...n=52&subsctn=0
The constable of a borough, township or ward, or his deputy,
shall do all of the following:
(1) Be present at the polling place in each election
district of the borough, township or ward at each election
during the continuance of each election and while the votes
are being counted, for the purpose of preserving the peace.
(2) Serve at all elections.

Re: Poll workers don't ank about my gun anymore
The county elections organizations have to pay for the stickers. I asked about before here in Lebanon and was told they decided not to spend the money on that.
If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

Re: Poll workers don't ank about my gun anymore
nope, we sign a book and are handed a card, you give card to guy at machine and then he gives you a sticker after you hit the big green button and come out of the vinyl cube.
was just disappointing to hear the words this time. feels like you might as well just be pretending to vote, not even a carbon copy.There is no way to make it out alive...

Re: Poll workers don't ask about my gun anymore
In my county, you have to be there to sign the pay-sheet to get paid for the day. And I would first contact the election board and ask if there is an elected constable for that ward/township. There may not be one. If so, you could run and get elected, or petition the court to be appointed if it is several years until the next election for constable (the term for a constable is 6 years).
Just be aware that the CETB voted to have no firearms training and no basic training for 2019. It still has to go through the PCCD before it goes into effect, but I'm expecting they will go along with the change, given the training fund is due to be gone by 2020.
