It wasn't something I saw often but the first few times were a shock.
I can't see why anyone would open carry at a polling place except for the intimidation factor.
I have seen open carry here in Michigan infrequently...
The most recent was a girl at the grocer - with a Glock on her hip. I recognised her as an employee for a local gun shop... I suspect she was just on her way to or from work.....
