Poll watchers do not just appear at the polls. You actually have to sign up with your party in advance and then be approved and assigned to a polling place by the board of elections. Both parties have poll watchers on site. I do it every election, although unfortunately this year I was away and missed the deadline so I’m not going to be able to do it.

Most of the time you just sit there and make sure people aren’t electioneering and that the clerks are following proper procedures. I do recall that during the 2004 elections, when I was living in the one Democrat county in North Florida, they were very hostile to me, however, and the Dems had sent lawyers to every polling place to “monitor” the poll watchers (only the GOP ones, of course). The attorneys would seek to intimidate the GOP poll watchers (mostly little old ladies) by demanding their personal information, etc., and speaking very harshly to them.

It looks to me like this incident in Texas was an example of a favorite Dem tactic, harrassment through attorney.

Why is it going to get nasty? The pubs won’t do anything about it. They never do.
