    While working front door at the federfal election in 2019, part of my job was security.

    I can't recall ever seeing security (private or public) at a polling
    place. Maybe they were undercover, I don't know. No uniforms anyway.
    The polls open in WV at 0630 and close at 1830 or 1900. Being an early
    riser I am generally always number one or two to vote. (A woman and I sometimes alternate). :)

    Stubbornness &/or escalation don't win confrontations.

    I try and use humour to deescalate any problems.
    I also so reasoning, depending on the situation.
    I try to explain why the individual can or cannot do something or other
    they want to do and I stand my ground. Some times a good stare down stops them. :)
