Poll watchers watching poll watchers

I have been doing voter protection since 2004. The asshole lady who founded True the Vote lives or lived in my county. true the Vote was going to swarm my county with poll watchers for the 2012 election. True the vote poorly trained poll watchers had caused some delays in the 2010 election in Harris County. I trained and had 65+ poll watchers out for the 2012 election. I had gone to a couple of early vote locations. The DOJ had election monitors in 8 of the key precincts and told my poll watchers not to worry about True The Vote. This was pre-Shelby County SCOTUS opinion and the DOJ had the power to deal with assholes like True The Vote.

California sending poll observers reminds me of 2012
