The activists then complained to election officials.<\/p>\n<p>Later, a second incident was reported. According to Hamilton County election administrator Beth Sheller, when Zheng was assisting a voter with an electronic ballot, he pressed the straight Democrat ticket option when explaining to the voter how to use the voting machine. The voter was \u201cthen confused about how to change the selection\u201d and asked another poll worker for help. That poll worker resolved the issue and alerted the polling location\u2019s election inspector about the incident. <\/p>\n<p>Zheng had been removed from his post as of Friday. <\/p>\n<p>Hamilton County GOP chairman Mario Massillamany told Fox News that Zheng\u2019s conduct raises questions as to how many voters had been confused after he had attempted a similar maneuver but did not alert election officials. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should serve as a cautionary reminder that those desperate to hold onto power or gain power will do anything \u2013 including breaking the law \u2013 to thwart the efforts of parents and taxpayers to replace our school boards with officials who more accurately reflect the values of our community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The incidents come after Democrats and their allies in the corporate media launched a nonstop propaganda campaign claiming GOP poll workers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/23\/opinion\/trump-big-lie-elections.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">represent an existential threat to democracy<\/a> (despite the fact that actual threats of violence and intimidation are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/readout-election-threats-task-force-briefing-election-officials-and-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extremely rare<\/a>). Yet when a Democrat poll worker engages in election interference, Democrats are silent.<\/p>\n<p>As Republicans are expected to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/house\/elections-map.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive gains<\/a> on Tuesday, expect Democrats to pull out all stops including using their minions (like Zheng) to influence voters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-edpa\/pr\/former-us-congressman-and-philadelphia-political-operative-pleads-guilty-election-fraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buying votes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/03\/thought-the-private-takeover-of-government-election-offices-was-just-for-2020-think-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interfering in the administrative process<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/11\/07\/6-election-security-threats-to-watch-for-on-election-day-00065277\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">questioning election results<\/a>.
