Trump's Call for a Flood of Poll Watchers Could Disrupt Some Voting Places
Patch ^ | Sept 15, 2016 | Pro Publica

Posted on 09/16/2016 12:56:01 AM PDT by Innovative

Donald Trump's campaign website implores voters to "Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!" by signing up as observers. He warned people at an Aug. 12 campaign event in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that Clinton could win the state only by cheating, and he asked supporters to "go down to certain areas and watch and study, and make sure other people don't come in and vote five times."

Less than a week later, Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, encouraged a crowd in Manchester, New Hampshire, to help ensure a fair election by serving as poll watchers because "you are the greatest vanguard for integrity in voting."

Absolutely! Having poll watchers would discourage at Anyone who is able to go, help reduce cheating by volunteering. Trump said you can do so at his website.

The Dems are running scared, because that is how they know to win elections.

It does happen here in PA. I was helping a GOP candidate more than two decades ago and we were trained as poll watchers by a former Democratic Party chair in my county as to the ‘tricks of the trade’.

Time to prepare for Florida Recount II. This time it will be all over the country. If they cannot win, they will find a reason to disrupt ballot counting. They could cite some irregularities, nullify the vote and schedule another vote, “until they win.”

“Consider the experience of Leah Wright Rigueur, a professor and historian based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. One of the first times she voted was in Hanover, New Hampshire, when she was a senior in college, majoring in history and keen to perform her civic duty in the 2002 midterm elections. Under New Hampshire’s rules, voters can register at the polls on Election Day. When Rigueur, who is black, walked into the polling place to register and vote...”

Not the best example, is it. She lived and worked there for at least couple of months and didn’t bother to register before the election. I don’t care who you are, waltzing into the polling place on Election Day to register is a red flag.

In CT they will need bodyguards for the poll watchers because our Demons steal the elections late at night in some very dangerous precincts.

They keep counting the votes until they have won.

As I’ve posted dozens of times on FR, we need to act on this and not just talk about it. Decent people need to volunteer for GOTV (get out the vote) efforts, get trained and volunteer as poll watchers, and otherwise make sure election fraud is as difficult as possible for the evil thugs on the left.

If we lose, this will be the last election ever that matters in what used to be the Untied States, so the socialists are sure to go all out this time. We need to make sure the Trump margin is large enough, and that fraud is difficult enough, that their cheating will not matter.

I registered to be a poll worker this year for the first time in my life. I did so after Trump won the last primary. I truly believe this will be the last chance we have to sustain what’s left of this country, that is, the US Republic under the Constitution. If I didn’t get off my ass and do this, then the next step would be to have to shoulder a rifle at the front in the Civil War V2.0, which would surely come if the Hildabeast and the Marxocrats prevail. It’s just that serious.

>>> Need to counter the Black Panther intimidation tactics.

And those are the places where voter fraud(s) occur, most likely won’t allow anybody walking in as poll waters.

That’s how Dems steal elections.

The major liberal strongholds always report last, and always have 100% turn out (sometimes >100%), all vote for Dems.

And the real reason why erosion Trump made in Black communities so alarmed the progressives. These same Blacks won’t be so docile and tame on the plantation as before.

Were the people at this publication as ‘concerned’ when the black panthers stood outside and intimidated untold numbers of white voters?

I bet not.

The best way to prevent voter fraud is to work the precinct door-to-door and get to know the people in the precinct.

That is also the most effective way to get additional votes for your candidate.

I’ve done a lot of poll watching and seen many others do it. It is not that effective.
