How much would it help for conservatives to engage the vote observation and worker process? It appears to me that the vast majority of poll watchers in large urban areas are Democrats.

Would it make a difference if conservatives became qualified to serve as poll watchers?

Would it make a difference if the RNC moved these individuals into urban areas in an effort to keep things fair?

Is this a dumb idea?

Reports indicate that, between the poll watchers being lied to or forced away from the counts and the hiding of observations in some areas, it really doesn't matter who is sent to poll watch if the rules are not enforced to allow for them to watch. Dems have the power now to do the policing of the fraud since the Republicans basically committed hari kari. I see no end in sight honestly. The fraud will be carried out with increasing openness with no retribution to fear.

No, no it would not. What would help is if R's moderated their positions to appeal to a wider swath of American voters, rather than relying on increasingly ineffective voter suppression tactics, including poll watchers. Poll watchers is a fancy way of saying sending people to hassle minorities trying to vote.

"In 1981, a Republican operation put armed men in uniforms emblazoned with “Ballot Security Task Force” outside polling places in largely minority areas during a New Jersey state election. After that incident, the RNC agreed to a consent decree that limited its ballot security operations.

That decree expired in 2018 after a federal judge declined Democratic attempts to renew it." LINK

Free and fair elections are officially over in the US.

Dems will just board up windows and cheat from here on out. They know what works and that will be the playbook going forward.

The "Conservatives" in DC are onboard with this bc they get kickbacks from the Dems.

...and when the poll watchers are all registered democrats?

....and "many" democrats mailed in 2020...who is getting intimidated at a poll? A ballot in the mail just says "some people did some things", it definitely does not guarantee a legal voter did anything.

The only way to appeal to most of the people in this enabled and govt dependent country is increasing amounts of free shite. That is why you vote Democrat. I'll stick with Republicans who offer less free shite and are more likely to get their tax drill out of my accounts.

Poll watchers and vote counters should be required to take a polygraph before and after the election.

1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Democrats won a majority or plurality in all those national Presidential elections. Republicans have outpolled Dems only once in that time, in 2004.

I do not see that trend changing. Republicans need to look inward and maybe make some attempt to answer the question as to why this trend is happening. And it is NOT because Dems steal elections.

Urban areas are democrat run. They refuse to follow the election laws. They intentionally prevent republican poll watchers from getting anywhere near the counting. Prevent them from getting close enough, not allowing enough watchers, barring them completely, intimidating then with threats to call cops, locking doors, boarding up windows.....all the while, no one steps in to make the playing field fair. The last four years has showed us that democrats don’t follow the laws and they buy off or intimidate those who are responsible for enforcing the Laws. It’s why we are where we are today.

Hopefully conservatives will support H.R.1 the next time it's introduced. Removing money from politics would help them.

No this isn't a dumb idea. Dumb is the fact that republicans have not done this already and just assumed everything was kosher. You are 100% right.

IF you are going to stand up and accuse democrats of cheating, especially in African American areas you will need to:

Be willing to lose your job, all your family lose their jobs, have your family threatened with violence and experience real violence, be willing to not do any banking/use internet/have insurance/have legal counsel because they will all drop you under threat from the mob that will come for you.

Good luck

If we want to fix it we have to fix it at the state level. Require voter ID, eliminate ballot harvesting and general mail in voting, any precinct that goes 90-10 or greater triggers automatic audit, etc.

I hope all of that is on the next ballot as amendments to the Louisiana constitution.
