Every story they do reflects that point of view.z

Every story legacy new/media does reflects an anti-MAGA viewpoint.

My first stint as poll watcher I had to stop the coordinator, a Dem, from “testing the lever” in a voting booth over and over again. I had to tell him if he did it one more time I was was calling downtown.

He said, “Right. You have to call your lords and masters.”

Shows the attitude.

In our training we were told not to let anyone “eat lunch” or do anything else behind the voting machines. Don’t you know I had to chase people out from there. Apparently with the old mechanical machines there was a way to alter the vote from behind the machine.

I had my hands full. I wasn’t even able to chat with the district leader who gave me the assignment when he came in to say hello. I was too busy watching for cheaters.

They are stealing the elections by simple reporting wrong numbers imo.

A Republican poll watcher should call the local GOP and they ll investigate and get the state Gop involved if necessary. If the Republicans fight they can’t be kicked out. Nobody has the authority to kick a poll watcher out.

Allow me to translate: Democrats and their propaganda arm the corporate media, are afraid that a lot of right leaning voters are volunteering to serve as poll watchers. This will make a repeat of the 2020 stolen election much more difficult.

In elections past, I have been a GOP poll watcher in Florida, and I usually got sent to deep blue precincts and counties dominated by blacks and old line white Democrats. My instructions were to keep a beady eye on everything but be friendly, so I chatted up and charmed the old gals who were usually in charge like we were all 18 year old at a chaperoned fraternity-sorority mixer. The bad ones showed themselves by acting sour, so I made it especially clear to them that I knew the minutiae of election law and administration. That kept things honest, more or less, and rarely did I have a confrontation or unpleasant word.

Sounds like the best approach.

In Detroit we have a thing called “White Intimidation”.

A Caucasian poll watcher or counter watcher intimidates just because they’re white and the poll worker is black.

Controlled disgust rules the day in that situation.

They kicked them out in the 2020 election.
Detroit Police threaten to arrest those that were refusing to leave.

Even covered up windows.
The State GOP was notified the SOS was illegally at a polling location in Detroit.
Crickets………..

Rules are only for Conservatives.

Amen brother.

I don’t fear arrest, harassment or the courts.
But I have resources.
I will help whoever I can though.

I have seen these 2 lying journalists articles in the past.

Poll watching is legal and part of our election integrity process. dems and lying journalists want to get rid of it.

Poll watchers caught VA dims trying to cheat last year, in which they tried to pooh pooh it as an honest mistake. It was not. VA had something like 90 percent of poll watching positions filled and kept dims from cheating. Part of the reason Youngkin and his team won.

Yep. Integrity gives us Reagan, Trump, Governors like DeSantis, Abbott, etc.

Youngkin’s team was one of the most prepared Campaigns I’ve seen in a very long time.
Good on them!

Add race into the factor and the white Republican poll watcher loses automatically.

It’s nasty nowadays.
