I actually don't even know what these "poll watchers" or whatever even think their task is. The front line of defense is inside the polling station - some octogenarian lady who checks your name on the voter roll. I mean, I know the reality is they're there for voter intimidation but what is the cover story?
Not much intimidation will happen since no guns allowed at polling places and therefore their dicks will be so small they will be inverted.
I am curious if people are more willing to put up with bullshit and motivated to vote by Republicans attempting to make it more difficult and prevent voting. People hate being told they can't do something and it feels this year that the bullshit tactics are being more openly reported on and discussed. Sure the true purpose is to disenfranchise those that don't have the time and means to wait but personally I would camp out like I was a rube at Best Buy on Black Friday if it meant voting against these shitheads.
In the 2018 election I told the old guy that was handing out the I voted stickers that I didn't need one I already got one earlier, his face looked like I had murdered his family, apparently jokes are forbidden.
Including the police who are an intimidation force themselves.
