Are you seriously saying because the room had windows and there are election laws, no one would attempt election fraud there? Were I in charge of the operation, I would want both partisans present in the room, when counting votes.

No, that;s not what I’m saying. If you want to know what I’m saying, then read what I wrote.

Were I a poll watcher I would have waited until all the ballots had put into crates, the were lights turned off, everybody had left the room and the door had been locked. No one was forced to leave. In fact from the video I see no evidence that any election worker ever directly communicated with the poll watchers. Were they (the poll watchers and media) under the impression that counting had stopped for the night? Apparently. But it was clear, even if the counting had stopped, that the work was not done; the election workers were still packing ballots and putting them into boxes. If the poll watchers had hung around to keep an eye on things (which in my opinion they should have), then they would have been there when Richard Barron called Ralph Jones telling him that they needed to keep on counting. But the Republican poll watchers decided to leave before the election workers had completed their work. It was their choice.
