Poll watching is catching on. There's been a great increase in the number of people volunteering to be poll watchers for the upcoming election, and Supervisors of Elections have been reminded that poll watchers are allowed to challenge a person's qualifications for voting. Each polling place may have one watcher from each party present.
Here in Broward there will be a self-appointed group of roaming lawyers of the Democratic Party persuasion to ensure people's "right to vote". I'm sure they'll ensure things run smoothly and not intimidate the poll workers or watchers at all when someone with no identification or voter registration card shows up to vote.
I'm voting absentee and will miss all the drama.
