Yes. It has been the way things have been done for years. You see, real conservatives stick with things that work. They don't invent more government to be used against them. Poll watchers are volunteer positions filled by citizens, not lazy ass government employees that owe their living to the largess of taxpayers. Once a government employee exists he can't lose his job and they are a burden on society, your children and grandchildren. They start voting with their pocket books. They unionize and become integrated in the deep state. They turn into leftists that vote for Democrats or anyone that will give them their next raise. On top of that, government employees are truly lazy asses they do not work, so those manning the monitors on your glorious cameras are not attentive. Those that maintain your glorious cameras are slow to fix broken cameras. Those that are supposed to keep the networks running to receive the camera feeds, they are technical morons unable to do their jobs. In short, they were never able to make in the private sector and make their claim on the American Dream.
The only way to ensure the integrity of our elections is to vote in-person using an actual paper ballot that records your vote. Absentee ballots are fine for specific reasons as they have been in the past. Even we have in-person, paper ballot elections there is a for need citizen poll watchers, just as they have been in the past. The entire election process from polling place to the county seat where votes are counted should be 100% citizen based as it has been in the past. The only place where the government need be involved is at the state's capitol where the state's Department of State receives and adds together the vote totals from counties.
We have doing elections successfully for over two centuries. The last thing we need is to change what works.
Get some real conservative principles buddy. More government is never the answer. You think like an eff'n leftist.
Are you maintaining that there has never been any election fraud?
I’m not suggesting that government employed bureaucrats sit and monitor camera feed as it happens. Only if shenanigans are suspected, volunteers could go back and monitor the footage.
> “Poll watchers are volunteer positions filled by citizens ...”
It’s a different game, different violations.
BLM/Antifa thugs, screamers, rioters will be harassing the hell out of poll watchers. This is why authorized peace officers need to be present.
In 2016, certain precinct offices in Philadelphia’s seedy crime infested areas, locked poll watchers out of rooms.
This may happen and probably will happen on a national scale.
And once a ballot is counted, there is no reversal.
