Totally against the law in my state. You can't just wander around the area. You enter your voting location, for ma line in one of the several numbered aisles, approach the table with state driver's license to be matched with your citizen voter info, wait for instructions to move to the next table to receive your ballot and pen, move to the table area to fill out ballot then place ballot in machine and it reads it right at that moment.as your standing there…poll checker standing at the machine.. MAGA!
