(43,049 posts)They strutted around lot until we told them where they couldn't go, and at the end of he night they refused to count totals, which was their primary job.
Assholes all, and of no consequence.

(9,313 posts)Every polling place should have the maximum number of Biden poll watchers.
If we fail this, we are in trouble.
And this goes for early voting sites.
In most places, I believe poll watchers need to apply and be approved in advance.
I have no idea where we are on this, but I hope every precinct/county location has Biden people in place.

(12,196 posts)Really can only observe. Lawyers could speak up if they saw anything wrong. Had thick book of precincts/voters to help if asked. Which did happen as people were mailed wrong precinct on occasion. This was Ohio 2012 in poor neighborhood, slobbish repub guy in Browns sweats told to go outside.
