Dunno whether this is accurate, but can't hurt to watch closely. And if a poll workers does this (it's illegal, btw), reject the ballot and demand a new one -- tell the worker to keep his/her hands OFF your vote! Put it into the box yourself, or watch closely to ensure your rights are not violated.

Photo still of a scene from a 1930s black-and-white film. Two women and four men in evening dress sit around a round table, all with their hands spread flat on the surface, thumbs and little fingers touching, creating a circle. One of the women seems to be the spiritualist leading the seance; she wears a black band across her forehead and sports very dark eye makeup. Text: "GOP communicating with McConnell."

A little levity on a potentially tough day, for so many different reasons.
Cartoon -- photo of living room with evergreen trees showing through the corner picture windows. A table fan is near them. Superimposed are two standing ears of corn with feet, arms and faces. One anxious-looking uncooked ear is saying to the other: "Is it hot outside?" The other, with a really annoyed expression, has hands on "hips" and replies: "Shut up!" That second ear's kernels are all popped, some burnt.
