A Texas election supervisor and judge resigned after she was caught on camera yelling at a voter who was confused about where to cast her ballot.

At one point in the video — recorded by another voter at the Williamson County Annex in Round Rock, Texas — official Lila Guzman can be heard screaming: "Get out. Get out. Get out. You are rude. You are not following the law. Go. Go."

At another point in the recording, Guzman is heard warning the woman she was going to call police to escort her out of the building; the voter left before police arrived.

The confrontation happened last Friday, ABC affiliate KVUE reported.

According to the news outlet, Guzman on Monday conceded things got out of hand, explaining that working 12-hour days for nearly two weeks took a toll on her. But she also said she didn’t step down because of the video — but because elections officials failed to provide her with backup.

"Our supervisor loses her composure in the middle of this, and that's not something that we ever train our poll workers, supervisors, election judges and clerks to do," Williamson County elections administrator Chris Davis told the ABC affiliate. 

The humiliated voter was registered to vote in Williamson County but lived in Travis County, Davis said, adding poll workers in Travis County should've sent the voter to the elections division in that county so she could vote on a “limited ballot.”
