Whose Watching the Watchers?
Send in the Goons
At what point does this poll watcher thing become intimidation? I've already read stories where GOP operatives sent registered letters to democrats, who refused them and the GOP then used this as the basis for challenging their ability to vote. I'm sure there will be shenanigans on both sides, but this Ohio thing really gets to me. If I were an undecided voter, or even a weak Bush supporter in Ohio, I'd definitely cast a protest vote against the republicans.
