He and his Democrat counterpart were asked to stand outside a glassed in room where the election ballots were opened counted and stacked . . . too far away to actually observe if anything weird was going on.
Then, he and his counterpart were asked to sign a statement that they observed no shenanigans in the process. The counterpart signed the statement. My friend refused on the logical basis that he was kept too far away to observe if anything strange was happening or not.
The only thing that came of said refusal was that the local GOP did not ask him to observe again.
Anyone would expect that sort of thing in the Puget Sound area, but I would have thought Spokane to be a little bit less brazen about their shenanigans.
Perhaps it depends on which precinct you look at — there are no shortage of commies in the city of Spokane, which as best I can tell gave Biden approximately a 17-point victory in 2020. But the entire rest of Spokane County (outside of Cheney) is pretty decent.
