129. To be fair, I only witenessed the couple of precincts my table counted.

My mom was at another. I did peep over a few shoulders when I was circulating around gathering data and making sure other volunteers were doing okay. Well, before they threw out anyone who wasn't a lawyer.

Thankfully one of the organizers was one, and naturally ALL of the Trump team's lawyers dominating that room. But I interacted with all the people storming out of that room. They were pissed.

Many HRC supporters chose to volunteer with the Greens because they were empowered to do more to challenge the ballots. The HRC people asked us to just observe and make sure there was no funny business.

Many were people who I had worked with during the GE, and they all stopped by to make sure we got the data for our counts too

The greens were very nice to us, but those Trumpers were absolute jerks. Never got so many dirty looks from people in my life!
