Great Job Hogs!

Get Parsy's nose in those legal books. We need all we can get on the legal rights of poll watcher in Arkansas. According to a KARK news report I found from the elections office, they cannot do much. I pasted it on the locale page for reference.

This is what I found on google.

The director of the state Board of Election Commissioners says that poll watchers have generated questions from voters about what is allowed. Susie Stormes says poll watchers— who can represent a candidate, a party or a group— must present credentials. They cannot be within six feet of booths, cannot do any electioneering, cannot speak to or attempt to influence any voter and cannot disrupt the order of election procedures. Despite citizen concerns, Stormes says no complaints against poll watchers have been filed with her office. She says early voting has been successful overall.
