RNC Asks Members to Avoid Poll Watching

“The Republican National Committee asked members to avoid election-related ‘ballot security’ activities, such as poll watching in their capacity as Republican Party officers, citing a decades-old court settlement restricting such activities by national GOP officials,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“As part of a 1982 settlement in a lawsuit brought by Democrats, the RNC agreed to curb its efforts to monitor and challenge voter eligibility at the polls, especially in districts where the racial or ethnic composition of the electorate could be a factor in the outcome.”
