1. With or without guns?? I'm assuming Dems will be standing alongside them??

2. How close?

Their intent is to disrupt. Not actually observe. 🙄

3. Observed by normal people or by screaming zombies with guns, signs, and flags?

4. "closely observe" doesn't equate to "intimidate"

Not that they won't try.

5. Closely observe doesn't mean unregistered poll watchers

9. As I understand it,

yes, poll watchers have to be certified but not sure if it's by the county or by the party.

As close to the screen as they like. While holding their guns.

14. Closely?

I haven’t read the opinion, but I hope the Court gave some guidance about what it means by “closely” and how the Court’s definition of “closely” differs from the procedures currently being implemented by the duly-elected and appointed officers of the executive branch of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Absent such guidance, the Court is merely throwing fuel on a fire while accomplishing nothing constructive.

15. That was then, this is now

New from @mitchellreports: the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overruled the Commonwealth Court ruling favoring the Trump campaign on watching the mail-in ballot count in Philadelphia. The mail-in counting is resuming.

Things are fluid, Baby! Looks like the orange anus' camp is awash in santorum.
