    Republicans are using poll watcher as code word for violent voter intimidation.

      I was thinking, if these people were intimidating voters then the police might be called. Knowing the police, it might just make things worse.

        They won’t be the only ones watching.

        Hopefully.

        I’ve seen reports that long time poll workers have been deciding not to do it this year, in part because of the negative pressure and threats from the MAGAts.
