Trump recruiting 'election observers' to scout for fraud
Fox News ^

Posted on 08/17/2016 10:34:31 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

Donald Trump is getting pro-active about concerns the White House race could be “rigged” against him, by recruiting “election observers” to help monitor the vote, though details of the program are unclear -- and are raising concerns about potential Election Day confrontations.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Note that if the low-information states still respected the Founding States' constitutionally enumerated procedure for electing president that the vice president would still be counting by hand the relatively few votes of electors appointed by state lawmakers.

Patriots have got to get a grip on the idea, evidenced by how the corrupt media is protecting crooked Hillary in this election year, that the corrupt Washington cartel is fighting to retain control of 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, that the corrupt feds have stolen and continue to steal from the states by means of unconstitutional federal legislation.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

I believe that ideas/suggestions and knowledge of voter fraud can be sent to the Trump campaign staff at:

Better than observing, become a poll worker! Please!!!

I don’t know about other districts, but at the polling place I work at, we’re expecting a 15-hour day in November, with no meal breaks and few, if any, bathroom breaks. Please help!!!!

If you do the math, in our precinct we have about 40 seconds to process each vote. Time polls are open/ number of registered voters. This means no step in the process can take longer. We can improve the throughput by adding voter booths so voters can take several minutes to do a complicated ballot, but the bottlenecks remain at the check in table and the ballot counter. So how is it we are slammed all day to handle a 65% turnout, but the inner city precincts can handle 100% turnout no problem? I suspect a shortcut....

The Republicans lost the ability to dispute through a settlement of a voter intimidation lawsuit brought by the DNC against the GOP. The GOP signed a consent decree saying that they would not pursue any investigation into fraud.

Similar situation here in SW Pennsylvania. Even if your precinct doesn't need help, they can practically guarantee you a job at a precinct which does and you can vote absentee.

Check your county website for your election bureau to apply.

In my county, more than 50% of the votes are absentee or early ballots. It has been that way for quite some time. Ballot verification is done by county and city employees, supplemented by paid temporary staff. The temps are hired from referrals provide from the Democrat and Republican parties.

The voting period is about 30 days long, which is a bit too much for a typical volunteer. There are unpaid volunteers acting as poll watchers on election day, and volunteer (but paid) election judges from each party on election day. However, election day often receives a minority of the votes counted.

The State permits last-minute registration and voting with a minimal display of identification and evidence of residency. A utility bill may be accepted in both categories.

There are also provisional ballots available to anyone who will sign an affidavit. Provisional ballots do not get counted unless an election result is contested.

Last-minute voters have historically been less than 0.5% of the vote. In my experience they are almost always Democrats.

1982 New Jersey, they lost the right to have voter fraud prevention people on sight without a court order.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined the Republican National Committee’s request to lift a three-decade-old court order that limits the national GOP’s ability to challenge voters’ eligibility at the polls.

The case, Republican National Committee vs. Democratic National Committee, dealt with a consent decree issued in 1982 that prevents the RNC from engaging in some voter fraud prevention efforts without prior court consent. It specifically said the RNC could not engage in ballot security efforts (later defined in 1987 as “ballot integrity, ballot security or other efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud,” according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit opinion), especially in areas where racial or ethnic makeup could be considered a reason for the activities.
