This is also a good time to bring up another way in which we can insure a fair election.

Most states allow each party to assign poll watchers who are legally allowed to oversee all voting - and protest when necessary. You can take a camera and other tools as necessary to document any irregularities. You are empowered to make the officials do their job properly.

In Alabama, where I live, the county Republican Party office gets to assign watchers to all polling places. A short (2 hour) training course is required.

I volunteer for this as a civic duty. Please call your local office and volunteer for this important job. It is critical that we have an adequate number of watchers - especially in swing states and where fraud is likely to occur.

Absolutely. Poll watchers are important.

Keep in mind, however, that poll watchers cannot do anything about fraudulent absentee ballots. That is how most of the fraud will occur.

Fraudulent registrations lay the groundwork for fraudulent absentee votes. This needs to be caught at the registration stage, to head off the piles of frauduent democrat "votes."

Warning for election day, DON'T LET THE GIVE YOU A PENCIL to sign your voter form with. We had a city election in Millington, TN yesterday, the poll I vote at were using PENCILS! Carry a ink pen with you.

Mark Belling is covering this right now (3:25 PM CDT). Listen at newstalk1130.com.

He also received an email from a Univ. of Wisc. Milwaukee student who witnessed voter registration without showing any ID.
