re: #8 Aligarr

What about the Tea party led “True the Vote ” , I understand they have atleast a thousand “volunteers ” inside polling precincts to scrutinize whether your trying to vote twice or try any funny stuff ….are they “registered poll watchers ” ?

Yes, at the polling stations where they are stationed they are a “representative” for one or more of the candidates running in that district which is all it takes to become one. They just need a candidates signature on a form to turn in to the supervisor of elections.

But one of the scandals revealed earlier today was that True the Vote submitted photocopied signatures by candidates who had withdrawn their support from the group once the news got out about them. Five of the six signatures they submitted in one county were fraudulent, those candidates never signed those forms. They had signed other earlier forms for the group before they withdrew their support from True the Vote. That county refused to allow True the Vote to participate at polling stations and may be filing criminal charges against them.
