How do you watch rigged machines?

I don’t get concerned about posts like this one, since it keeps us informed about opposition we are about to experience. But I agree that there a lot of concern trolls posting discouraging things on FR.

I’ll admit I was working a couple of jobs and was tired when the person spoke.

What was mentioned was the notion of absentee votes being piled up at the polling place, of discrepancies in the old fashioned voting machines where corrupt election workers would go to the back and call out who got how many votes with no one else back there with them to confirm what was coming out of their mouths.

Also the notion of the same person voting more than once at the same location or different locations.

I was once outside a polling place after voting myself listening to some guy talking to another guy, claiming he had come to this place to vote after voting somewhere else.

My sense is that here in PA and no doubt in other states, one has to watch out for absentee ballots being fraudulently prepared ahead of the election.

We’ve had people in the state and I don’t remember all the exact locations but Philly clearly comes up as a hotbed of cooked up votes using absentees.

What Hillary’s people have been doing in PA in recent months is working to register voters in urban, Democrat leaning areas.

What will they do with these people next after they register them????????

Minorities, women, children, and dead people affected disproportionately.

I have very reliable first-hand reports of the former local head of the NAACP driving a minibus full of designated voters from polling place to polling place to polling place.

We can only hope that poll watchers will disrupt “business as usual” by the Democrat fraudsters.
Of course, the Democrats will try to throw the poll watchers out, and the courts will try to rule them as “voter intimidation.”

Be 100+ ft. outside the precinct, with cameras, or a time lapse home CCTV/DVR setup with camera on a tripod, letting everyone know people leaving the precincts are being video’d. All precincts.

Then everyone knows we can compare the people at different precincts.

An ‘honesty lock’ deterrent, at the minimum, a means of fraud proof if needed.

Well in SC you can have
2 Watchers per 1000 registered voters, or fraction there of.
Each Watcher must:
Be a qualified voter in the county where he/she is to watch.
Be certified to the poll manager to which assigned. It must be in writing and signed by the candidate or appropriate party
Wear an ID badge not to exceed 41/2"x41/2" and have the name of the candidate or party they represent, must not have florescent quality
Conduct himself in a manner that will not interfere with the orderly conduct of the election.
Here in York county we suggest you attend poll manager training class.
Since elections are a public process, anyone can and should be allowed to observe under certain conditions

Trump should take it even further: He should announce that if he becomes President, there will be FULL PROSECUTION of those engaged in voter fraud just to watch Dem heads explode.

I can’t sign up for being a poll watcher because I haven’t the slightest idea what state I’m going to be in come November.

However, I can donate and encourage other people. Once I figure out the best anti-fraud org to donate TO. Do you have any idea?

I have generally worked with either the GOP or the candidate on GOTV.

I like True the Vote but they are not rated by https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.profile&ein=272860095 Charity Navigator, and I am reluctant to endorse them to others. I like their work, but I have no idea whether they spend donations wisely.

If you’re free on Election Day, you can also call your local party/candidate’s office a day or two in advance, wherever you happen to be, and see what you can do on that day.

I registered to be a poll worker this year for the first time in my life.

Poll WATCHERS can be kicked out of the polls.

Poll WORKERS can be there all day.

Get to your county elections office and sign up to WORK THE ELECTION. I don't know how we can stop the rigged machines (we are looking into that in TX) but ballot stuffing can be stopped just by being there at the poll all day.

You will get trained on the laws and won't be there to stop people from voting once. Twice and all bets are off.

I wish we would do the purple finger!
