You keep saying that we as poll watchers cannot challenge. In the state of Arkansas THAT IS PART OF THE JOB. The rules that we have been given in our training regarding this issue has been posted 2 or 3 times on this thread. This is a legitimate issue. The democrats are accustomed to NOT being challenged becauuse Republicans have been poorly represented at the polls here in the past. We are finally doing our job and they don't like it. There is absolutely nothing illegal about what the poll watchers are doing, including challenging ballots. The disruption is occuring when the DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO ALLOW THE POLL WATCHERS TO DO THEIR JOB.

No I'm not. There is a difference between a poll watcher, a poll worker and a observer. The Poll Watcher has a certain criteria to follow just as a poll worker does.

When you as the poll watcher enters my precinct, you must present me with a letter from the candidate or group you are affilliated with and it must be signed by the Candidate or the head of the organization. You have a certain responsibility as a WATCHER. You may not interfer with the voting process or the poll workers, you may ask for figures but you are not allowed behind the desk/table where the workers are working and you are not allowed behind the voting machines.

The observer has none of these rights. They can't do anything. The Poll worker can give the observer the command to sit and don't move. the observer must do as he/she is told.

The Watcher is a different matter all together. The Watcher can ask for certain information, but that's it...
nothing more.

The Worker has the resposibility to verify the "potential voters" credentials. THEY MUST CONFIRM THAT THE PERSON STANDING THERE IS A REGISTERED VOTER in that precinct.

Oh well, nevermind...
