HuffPo: Early Voting Experience In North Carolina Bodes Ill For Civility On Election Day

If Election Day goes anything like the past 17 days of early voting in North Carolina, here's what you can expect at your local precincts on Tuesday:

• Belligerent citizens demanding the right to personally inspect the voting process and yelling "shut up" at the top of their lungs when election officials tell them that only official poll observers can do that.

• Official poll observers who have been improperly trained by the groups they represent and think it's their job to interrogate voters rather than just watch.

• Long lines, which means that a lot of people end up waiting outside the designated no-electioneering zones, getting harangued by campaign workers.
