3. trying to bully their way into the room to harrass the counters.

We scan our mail ins, but the ballot board has already completed the verification process which we started doing Oct 15.

However my friend on the ballot board said that "observers" crowded into the building to the point that the ballot board folks couldn't get out of the room to use the restroom. This room has a wall of windows on the outside wall and on one of the inside walls, with blinds drawn. Finally the Elections Administrator said he would open the blinds if they all stayed outside. These were not offical poll watchers either. Since this was merely signature screening of the mailing envelopes the 100 foot rule may not have applied; secrecy envelopes were not opened until Tuesday when voting began.

I firmly believe that one of the instructions given to the sheep was to disrupt the process wherever possible. Hence the mess in Michigan and the hollering in PA

If you are not a registered poll watcher, you are SOL and 100 foot rule should apply.
