(145,291 posts)In 2012 we had a ton of issues with the True the Vote assholes and I had forty or so poll watchers out keeping an eye on the True the Vote people. None of these poll watchers were lawyers. We had a couple True the Vote people get mad at my poll watchers and storm out when they were not allowed to try to intimidate voters. In case you missed it, I do not like the True the Vote idiots
I was in Florida for Kerry Edwards and while it was fun, it was not an efficient use of the time of these lawyers. I was not allowed into the polling site and had to communicate with the poll watcher who was inside of the polling place for my voting location.
There were some great people at this event and I have been asked to go back to Florida a couple times by the Florida lawyers who ran the program but I have decided that I can do more by running my county and regional voter protection efforts.
