Well..if so, then Mehlman/Rove have to change that ASAP..
Mehlman/Rove probably don't know about it. However, in my County I know of at least 3 poll watchers who were "fired" before the election by RINOs in charge. There was no reason given -- just that the 3 in question my "offend" a voter by being too aggressive. None of these people had ever stepped over the line; they just weren't "friends" with the local campaign manager.
This same campaign manager also tried to scuttle the religious coalition's lit drop blitz at churches on the Sunday before the election. This was a national project (secret in nature), yet she refused to allow the people doing it to put their voter guides on the windshields at her church and tipped off the police about some of the other churches.
I know she was reamed out by the national representative by phone, but that whole campaign effort is now dismantled and the whole fiasco will be forgotten by next time when she will still be in charge.
The poll watching effort was a disaster, BTW. The palm pilots didn't work. They could have learned something if they had only included experienced watchers in the planningn and execution.
