Washington Election observer escorted out of the elections office because she refused to comply with the made up mask requirement.
Island County Elections decided they wanted to require masks in ONE ROOM of the office. The room where ballot processing is taking place. If she didn't put on a mask, she had to stay in the hallway where she can't see anything.
Election observers are allowed in WA, and there is no mask mandate in place. Not saying that would make it ok to require people to wear useless masks.
Requiring masks in one room and not the whole office makes 0 sense. Literal nonsense.... Unless you don't want observers to feel welcome.

Background information.
The Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program.
The best publicly available estimates out there for open source intelligence suggest that Iran is readying enough partly enriched Uranium to only need one more jump to achieve a stockpile of HEU (Uranium enriched to weapons grad, 90%). Iran is currently attempting to master the art of implosion detonations necessary to build higher yield fission devices based on HEU. They have a working, known tested design already- purchased from the AQ Kahn network in Pakistan. The head of the Pakistani nuclear weapons program sold iran and several other clients the design and engineering data of the design pakistan successfully test detonated.

"The monograph begins with an analysis of the current status of Iran’s nuclear program. It then lists specific nuclear weapons program advances that Iran might, unless deterred, undertake and complete in the coming weeks. Within the overall scope of its nuclear weapons program, Iran is evidently attempting to advance in two major categories. The first is enrichment activities other than enriching uranium to 90 percent U-235 (weapons-grade level). The second is nuclear weaponization activities (advancing toward construction of an explosive device capable of unleashing the destructive power of the weapons-grade uranium (WGU) inserted therein). The next section derives key principles for deterring Iran based on previous successful U.S. efforts to deter Iran. The monograph then recommends specific military and non-military steps that the administration should take."

Deterring Iran’s Dash to the Bomb
The Islamic Republic of Iran appears to be in the process of significantly advancing its nuclear weapons program in the coming weeks while Americans are preoccupied with politics at home and Israel is busy battling Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran may seek to establish…

A.Q. Khan & Iran
Following Iran's disclosure of uranium enrichment research and subsequent inspections, the central role of Pakistan in Iran's nuclear programme was unearthed. This was compounded by Iran turning over to the IAEA a complete history of its nuclear program…
