In 2012 I ran the poll watcher operation in my county and we had true the vote assholes out trying to intimidate voters. First we made sure the election administrator covered poll watchers with the election judges and then I had poll watchers are our key voting sites to keep an eye on the true the vote lowlifes

We will have to be prepared to do something similar next cycle
