I can go to a baseball game and sit in the stadium and see that the correct team is on the field, I can observe the action of the game and I can verify that the participants in the game are doing what they are supposed to do - including the referees. I don't have to be on the field to ensure that the process of playing the game is taking place according to my potentially "less than informed" standards.

The observers are the equivalent to spectators. Every step of the election process has checks and balances built into it. Observers that tried to insert themselves into the process were not following the rules. At no point, were the bi-partisan election workers removed from the process for things like adjudication or signature verification - or any other part of the process.

So if I understand you correctly you would be fine with all the poll watchers being off to the side, watching via binoculars?

there was a lawsuit on this very issue but I can't remember how it turned out

2021-01-11 20:49:51 UTC  

They won

2021-01-11 20:49:57 UTC  

Issue resolved

2021-01-11 20:50:06 UTC  

One of the only cases Trump won

2021-01-11 20:52:07 UTC  

I wonder what disgruntled him

2021-01-11 20:52:36 UTC  

@SoonMrWick what is the difference between the 1967 1993 and 2019 riots. They all have something in commom..
To call one mob terrorists is ignoring the fact the reason why it all them started

I mean again, I would be talking anecdotally here but to take your stadium analogy further. If that was always the case and suddenly Republicans are complaining, then yeah I see no issue. But from what I am reading and hearing it was standard practice (before corona) to have poll watchers next to each other, one from each party (and sometimes a third independent one) for the signature verification process. Anecdotally, my friend that I mentioned before said this was always standard practice.

2021-01-11 20:53:35 UTC  

just skip the 2000 and 2016?

2021-01-11 20:54:05 UTC  

So it would be like allowing observers onto the field game after game, then suddenly saying "no, you have to go back into the stands and observe from there"

2021-01-11 20:55:38 UTC  

It depends on a number of factors. Observers are not trained election workers. I saw so many cases where they filed affidavits, because they lacked the basic understanding about what is supposed to be going on at any given step. Part of the problem was the implementation of new voting systems and procedures. I think that letting anyone be an observer without training them on what is supposed to be happening at any given point in the process and what to look for as far as what constitutes questionable activities is a recipe for disaster, which is what we witnessed in the aftermath of the 11/3 election. I think that the uninformed claims may have obscured valid claims.

2021-01-11 20:56:28 UTC  

I agree with you on that point, everyone should go through training and know what they are or aren't looking for. But also many of these affidavits were from seasoned poll workers who said something was amiss this election.

2021-01-11 20:58:01 UTC  

Without covid I don't think we would have had anywhere near as contentious election. But covid gave rise to mail in ballots and also added in some social distancing issues in the counting centers.

The signature verification process in most states happens primarily at county clerk offices as the ballots are received in the run up to the election, which is why they can let the voters cure their ballots.

BTW - I forgot to mention in PA that the SotC sent instructions to all counties to allow mail-in ballot curing. In heavily Republican counties, they chose not to cure, because they believed that doing so would favor the Dems who were more likely to vote by mail. There were not two sets of rules.

I think it's a shame that the media went ahead and put the most crazy one to the spotlight (Melissa) and used that to delegitimize the other dozens of speakers at these events. There were some batshit testimonies but also some really interesting and compelling ones, but those don't get any attention.

2021-01-11 21:00:43 UTC  

Trump doesn’t know about qanon but “trial by combat” guy has no clue either I guess

If the Trump team stuck to the less flamboyant crazy ones trump supporters would lose interest. They need the drama and sensationalism of literal cartoon characters

2021-01-11 21:03:28 UTC  

Also they prob won’t go anywhere

2021-01-11 21:03:55 UTC  

He looks better as a Viking

2021-01-11 21:04:02 UTC  

Jake yea umm. everything i would envision a State-Farm would look like

2021-01-11 21:04:07 UTC  

He's not bad looking in either, but I agree.
