So, an interesting experience today: I was working the polls with my teacher endorsement cards, and next to me were two college classmates of our Republican Congressional candidate, passing out flyers _against_ him.

Madison Cawthorn went to a small, conservative Christian college for a semester, where he was [loathed](https://www.thewrap.com/johnny-depp-loses-uk-libel-suit-wife-beater-claim-called-substantially-true/). One of his classmates told me that her friend was sexually assaulted by Cawthorn in his truck, and that in a history class, he declared, “If I had been a slave-owner and my slaves had run away, I would have killed them.” For her–and for Cawthorn’s other classmate that was there, and apparently for other classmates I heard were at other polling sites–it’s very personal. They might be conservative Christians, but that’s a point _against_ voting for someone who assaults women and lies about acceptance to naval academy and misrepresents his college time.

Never before have I seen this sort of poll worker.
