are no good.

I prefer a non partisan group to do this actually, than partisan groups.

In many precincts, OFA and the local Democrats will also have a lawyer or trained legal observer at the polling station or close by.

This will be the fifth election cycle that I will be doing this for the Democratic Party. I even help people who aren't Democrats to vote - it's a civic duty. Many of the others who do this feel the same way.

we are actually working this story locally, and OFA will be nowhere to be seen.

and they will be local on early voting days and election day.

I'm a poll watcher and we just had training this weekend. I'll be curious to see how fast they can get to each poll if something should arise.

The Dems will be sending a ton of lawyers here to Florida just in case they try to steal it again.
