It would have been a waste of time to talk to Republican poll workers because in numerous instances they were prevented from observing anything by covering windows or being so far removed from observing that they couldn't see anything.
Geez you're a liar.
Parky, I understand you get confused easily so please let me help.
Poll WORKERS and poll WATCHERS are two completely different things. The poll workers get paid and they work in teams, one dem and one GOP and these teams TOGETHER review and count the votes. Poll watchers do not get paid and do not review and count votes. In fact by law they can not be closer than 6 feet from poll workers doing their job, and they can never touch any ballots or voting machinery.
This is the core issue that makes all those fake voter fraud cases null and void. All those wonderful poll watchers were the ones that claimed fraud, none of those Republican paid poll workers, who were right there the entire time counting the votes and seeing and understanding what was happening, claimed any fraud.
Do you get it now. Poll WORKERS and poll WATCHERS are not the same thing.
Poll Workers are volunteers performing roles such as checking in voters, directing them to the ballot booth and generally trying to make Election Day operations run smoothly.
Poll watchers are typically political party or candidate appointees who serve as the eyes and ears to ensure there are no problems at their assigned polling place.
Poll workers are paid election officials. They are essential to the democratic process and ensure that the rights of each and every eligible voter are protected.
Poll workers
• Must be registered voters in the state they are working for
• Must be registered to vote at the precinct in which they desire to act as a poll worker.
• Must attend a mandatory poll worker training. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
• Cannot be a member of a candidate’s immediate family or the second degree of kinship, and cannot be a member of a candidate’s political committee.
Poll Watchers are appointed by a political party. They report potential issues with voters to local officials while operating under strict guidelines. The parties appointing Poll Watchers might provide a training to ensure that Poll Watchers will be able to fulfill their task. Poll watchers in most states can not stand closer than 6 feet from the election counting process and it is unlawful for poll watchers to physically touch any election materials.
After ballots have been processed to confirm the voter’s identity, the ballots are transmitted to the ballot board which consists of volunteers of opposite party affiliations, they then remove the ballot from the affidavit envelope and prepare to transmit the ballot to the tabulation room. Each ballot must be approved by both a democratic and republican ballot board member to be approved and passed on for tabulation. Once the ballots have been transmitted to the tabulation room, election staff begins running the ballots through the tabulators. The ballot tabulation room is required by law to have a live feed so voters can watch all of the activity during tabulation.
So yeah, your continued premise about voter fraud based upon poll watchers is faulty because, as was stated in the original post, poll workers and ballot boards contain both party representatives and both must certify each individual ballot. What the poll watchers do is totally different.
Now if all those several hundred affidavits about election fraud had come from poll workers and ballot board members instead of poll watchers, you Trumpsters might actually have had a case. Since none of the affidavits came from poll workers or ballot board members, you people don't have a leg to stand on. This was perhaps the biggest reason all those cases were thrown out of court.
So please, once and for all, figure out what a poll watcher is and does and contrast that with poll workers including ballot board members and I believe you will finally see the light.
