They have. In fact some of the places where youre talking about have a near equal number of watchers inside. But the GOP is trying to pack ALL of the states GOP observers into the remaining counting areas so 100's more of them in the area in order to slow the vote and challenge as many as possible..


Theres a reason his nonsense lawsuits have been tossed out. Theyre nonsense.

Quick thought experiment for you.

If poll watchers are actually not being allowed to watch the ballots being counted why did Trump only bring it up once he started losing?

Probably cause they’re lying through their teeth, Trump and them.

GA is a red state.

Most polling places already HAVE poll watchers. They usually limit the number though. Could you do your job if your office was inundated with any extraneous stranger that happened to wander by?

Call up your local elections office (maybe not this week) and ask how to become a poll watcher next election. They’ll tell you how.

In many places, elections officials have volunteer slots that are not filled.

Evidence = Because Trump said so.

Seems like rational thinking to me.

The poll watchers have been in.

They put paper over the windows of the room where the votes were being counted, because 100+ Trump supporters had gathered outside the window, planning to do god knows what.

With COVID restrictions, the poll watchers weren't allowed to literally peer over the shoulders of poll workers, which is typical, but when the watchers brought binoculars they were allowed to use them and weren't restricted.

Let me ask this, Grlzrl.

Do you see anyone else on his side? Are there other Republican leaders saying the things he's saying, or standing with him? I ask, because I don't see a single other voice with him, but didn't want to be wrong if he's got others (besides his loyal voters) agreeing with him.

People have a right to be suspicious when other people are putting pizza boxes in front of windows where the ballots are being counted. It would tend to make some people believe they are trying to hide something... Wonder why they would get that idea?
