One of the things that’s bewildered me for almost 20 years is why poll workers are so often Democrats. I assumed it was because Republicans were too passive and disinterested to get involved at the ground level. This matters because, as both Stalin and Biden said, what ultimately matters is who counts the votes—and the next closest thing to counting the votes is being a poll worker. I just learned that I owe Republicans an apology. It turns out that, in 1982, the RNC entered into a consent decree that prohibited it from aggressively enlisting poll workers, and that consent decree only fully ended last year.
The consent decree isn’t a secret. It’s simply that I hadn’t paid attention to it before and, I’m betting, many of you hadn’t either. Breitbart has the story:
The consent decree was the result of a settlement with the DNC after the DNC sued its Republican counterpart for allegedly intimidating voters in predominantly Democrat areas of New Jersey during the state’s ultra-tight 1981 gubernatorial contest, as reported at the time by the Herald-News.
In a 2020 op-ed in the Washington Post, McDaniel detailed the numerous longstanding limitations the consent decree had placed on her organization and wrote of its newfound freedom that “the playing field” was “level again.”
What happened in 2020 was that the RNC was finally able to recruit poll watchers (but, as we know, Democrat poll workers often managed to kick them out). However, that’s only part of the battle. All other activities, including recruiting poll workers, had to be done under the umbrella of a presidential candidate’s own efforts. So it was the Trump campaign, not the RNC, that recruited poll watchers, and Trump lacked the wide and deep infrastructure the RNC has.

What a mind numbingly stupid settlement. I’m surprised the GOP didn’t renew it in partial penance for January 6.
Wouldn’t doubt that it was intentional, as a stoopid olive branch to the other half in attempt to head off the RDS (Reagan Derangement Syndrome)
Typically defeatist attitude. R-Illinois, Bob Michel immediately popped to mind and sure enough, it was he in control then...backed up by ferocious fighter Trent Lott who needlessly ceded senate power a few years later because it was the generous thing to do.
State-wide "elections" in Minnesota are rigged in a 55 mile by 70 mile rectangle centered on the Twin Cities.
I call it "The Golden Rectangle". Or you could also call it "The Golden DFL Rectangle"...
Well, It is a water under the bridge now.
Please, all you who can. Go and sign to be poll worker!
We need good Republicans on every board on every voting place!
So your voting precinct had mail in ballots that could not be verified? Typically when I vote absentee because I travel outside the country I am handed a ballot and it is initialed by two poll workers at the county election authority. It seems that a mail in ballot has the potential for fraud written all over it. Once the ballot is mailed you have the POSTAL WORKERS... they can do whatever they want with a ballot. Once a ballot is "collected" are there two "workers" (DNC operatives) collecting them? Where is the chain of custody for mail in ballots? What good are "poll watchers" if there are hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots that could skew the election?
Nancy Pelosi standing at a podium in 2020 stating that Donald Trump is not going to win the election was the tell. You could see in to her dark eyes and in to her spirit that her and her minions had the fix in ahead of time. Even Brandon stated they had the most extensive voter fraud organization!!
Poll watching is very important. I was living in a purple county (now solid blue) during the Bush elections and the first thing the Dems did was send all the GOP poll watchers (you have to be registered and publicly identified) a threatening legal letter implying that they were engaging in voter intimidation. Furthermore, virtually all of the Dem poll watchers in the precincts were either attorneys or law professors from the university, who sat and stared at the GOP poll watchers.
I actually did object to one thing, which was that a nursing home aide was bringing in a group of elderly people and “voting” them, that is, saying they needed assistance so that she could go in and tell them how to vote. The staff from a large facility for the developmentally disabled was doing the same…they had all been bused there by the union to which the aides belonged. The precinct captain did intervene, because only a few of the “voters” were recorded as having requested assistance, and the aides were just going in with every one of them. Now Florida has a law against the same individual “assisting” a group of voters, since it was a common problem observed by the poll watchers.
In the post-Bush election, I was living in another county (much redder) and the Dems had little chance…so mysteriously, a couple of days before the elections, the entire poll-watcher database was destroyed. The GOP election headquarters weren’t exactly cutting edge on their security, and somehow the system had been infiltrated and the lists of the poll watchers, their credentials and their polling place assignments was destroyed.
All they had left was a list of names and email addresses, so while they told us simply to go to the nearest polling place, we weren’t official because you can only work in the polling place to which you are assigned. So we were told to report any irregularities to the RNC - in DC! Supposedly they had a hotline and were coordinating with the state and local GOP offices. They probably did have a hot-line: exactly one, because we were never able to get through.
The GOP had no plan, no technology, nothing in place to deal with any problems. And it looks like they still don’t.
After the Dems lost the second Bush election, btw, I happened to be sitting near a group of the local Dem Party heads having coffee - and I overheard one say, “we’ve got to start getting our plan together.” And they were talking about their plan for getting even more control over the next Presidentials, 4 years away.
So that’s why the Dems win. They cheat…and they plan it well in advance, fully aware that the GOP never has a plan and will never fight back.
I’m hoping that’s changing now. And it definitely needs troops on the ground…being a poll-watcher is very important. The last shift of poll watchers also accompanies the ballots and the tabulated totals to the board of elections and formally turns them over. This is very, very important.
the polls are no nearly as important now as the new mail in processing centers/counter. That’s why they say counting the votes is important. The mail in ballots now require huge processing centers to count and recount the votes adding votes as they go. So that in Delco PA there are 29K for mail in votes counted than there were mail in voters recorded in the SURE system. The poll watcher in Delco was refused entry to where they were collecting the boxes. ( all stated in one of the lawsuits with affidavits.) you have seen the videos of the guys talking about fixing the audit requests.. These were in chester, Delco, PA. And the republicans that gave the democrats this power didn’t require anything auditable.
Let’s not overlook the fact that the VAST majority of people whose live on the dole are demoncrats. When your only job is strolling out to the mailbox once a month to pick up your welfare check, that leaves plenty of free time to volunteer to be a poll worker without interfering with your work schedule.
We have to volunteer and push for local organization or we will lose due to cheating. After the Virginia election, Biden’s helpers in the press started screaming about our getting involved in elections - you KNOW this had to come from the White House and the DNC in their talking points to their slavish media followers. They are upset because it was effective. There are a number of volunteer R organizers around the country who are pushing for involvement - check out Scott Presler in Virginia who goes nationwide and was recognized by Trump at the White House. He has amazing social media talents for getting our side involved. We owe it to the 13 dead at the Kabul Airport and the tens of thousands who went before them with far greater sacrifices than showing up for a few days and volunteering to ensure the sanctity of the elections.
The rest is vote rigging.
I analyzed the 2020 "election" by state and by county, and compared it with Obama's record 2008 turnout.
You can clearly see where they're rigging the vote.
“DNC sued its Republican counterpart for allegedly intimidating voters in predominantly Democrat areas of New Jersey”
What a joke. Republicans intimidating voters in New Jersey? We all know Dims show up at a fight with brass knuckles while Repukes show up with a plastic spatula.
Exactly. Two words precinct project. Virginia proved that in EVEN THE INNER CITIES fraud can be addressed with enough MAGA election volunteers.
I did a post yesterday to see how many FREEPERS are following Bannon and the number is around 20% or less.
So they are not aware of the huge shift in minority polls or how great the upcoming election is looking (100 seats for 100 years!).
This explains why everyone around here is so bummed out.
And as Steve Bannon points out, the fact that there was SO MUCH PRESSURE on Breyer to step down shows that the left knows that the senate will flip this year.
And he usually opens with the MSM going crazy on how scared they are that Republicans are talking over the country!
Kudo’s to those on this thread who are already doing this.
Now you know why the GOP is called “ The Stupid Party”.
If I’m not mistaken, they were convicted in-absentia, due to them never showing up for court. But nothing ever happened due to the fact that a certain individual was in the White House at the time and a certain AG was over the DOJ.
