Most states have requirements that in order to be an official "pollwatcher" you must have a signed affidavit from the campaign - and only 1 or 2 are allowed.
Otherwise? It's electioneering. And illegal.
Looking forward to the DOJ or the Supremes to knock this off.
I'm sure the pollwatchers will comply with the laws.
I think it is just great to have armed goons at the polling places checking everyone out in line and making sure they speak American.
Likely this will lead to challenges and Federal courts will have to overrule State laws enacted to by Republicans to permit this abuse.
YEA--please bring your swastikas Please people- let freedom ring- and each cast their votes as they want- the people on board will keep up with the fraud etc.- they always do---

I think everyone should play by the same rules. Obama's DOJ said there was nothing wrong with standing outside of a polling place intimidating voters.

On January 7, 2009, a couple weeks before Obama took office, the Department of Justice filed a civil action in federal court accusing the two men, as well as the New Black Panther Party and its leader Malik Zulu Shabazz, of engaging in voter intimidation. Although none of the defendants responded to the complaint, the Department decided last year to drop its case against all but King Samir Shabazz, the one with the nightstick. The department asked for, and got, an injunction prohibiting Shabazz from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of a Philadelphia polling location until 2012.
The Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, which handles all racially motivated voter intimidation offenses, determined that "the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the federal criminal civil rights statutes," according to testimony provided by Thomas E. Perez , Assistant Attorney General, on May 14, 2010. Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler confirmed to PolitiFact that that determination not to file criminal charges was made prior to the filing of the civil case.
In other words, the decision not to pursue criminal charges was made by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division prior to the Obama administration.
In 2012, a judge found two top Obama DOJ appointees pressured the attorneys to drop the case and thenoed about it under oath. One DOJ attorney quit because he was disgusted with the corruption.
