The only advantage would be the ability to contrast the treatment of white poll-watching racist dirtbags and what is meted out to black poll watchers. I imagine, in black districts, would-be voters will be arrested for resisting the over-the-shoulder intimidation of the racists. In white districts, black poll watchers would be physically subdued and at least some would be accidentally murdered by police if they crossed over the watching-line by so much as an inch.
