A Virginia Democrat accosted and cursed out a Republican poll greeter in an "unhinged" Election Day confrontation that has gone viral.

Video footage shows a progressive voter approaching Matthew Hurtt, a poll worker and director of professional services at the Leadership Institute, in Arlington, Virginia, on Tuesday.

"You guys tried to overturn the election, you might as well have been walking up to my head on the way to the polling station and putting a gun to my head and try to tell me not to vote," an unidentified man wearing an "I voted" sticker said.

The unhinged individual then accused the GOP poll worker of "trying to overthrow elections with violence" as he greeted people on their way to vote. 

"You try to steal my vote next year, im going to f---ing remember you personally," he said, before pulling his phone out and taking a photo of the Republican greeter.

The GOP greeter continued to film the man as he welcomed passersby, racking up over 5 million views in a viral video on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Democrat then approached a bystander and advised him not to be "buddy, buddy with these people because they put on a face of a good neighbor" before accusing Hurtt of being racist, supporting lynching, and being " f---ing Bible-beating bigots and freaks."

"And they're not good neighbors," the man said as he finally walked away from the scene toward his Prius.

"The guy started before he went in, and I assumed he would keep it going when he came out... so I hit record," Hurt said in response to a reply on his video.
