And the ACORN factor in OH has me worried too.

I'm not as worried about the ACORN vote fraud as many are. After all, a lot of the overt fraudulent signups will never appear - they were just names filled out by lazy canvassers to make their quotas. And besides, Mickey Mouse probably isn't going to be allowed to vote in any poll that has a GOP poll watcher, period. The Dems have always been defrauding the vote - having the dead vote, bussing in near-vegetables and filling the ballots out for them, etc. etc. ad nauseum. The only difference this year is that many people have made a lot more noise about it than in previous years. Other than that, I see little reason to think the actual amount of fraud will be greater than before - and we've won against that pretty consistently. The rule of thumb I've heard is that the GOP needs to do about 4-5% better at the polls than they would normally need to so as to overcome Dem vote fraud - and yet we've done that many a time.

And it’s not like we’re standing around: in Dayton alone we have 60 designated poll watchers for the more (ahem) questionable locations.

That is exactly what I think. I think they misunderestimate the sheer laziness of this victim class they've cultured.

Democrats pleading for the polls to stay open late will vote every single voter that didn't show up to vote, legal or not. Now, when those votes get counted yes, a certain proportion are thrown out as invalid...but the point is that thousands of invalid ballots get through.
