    Oh there was an NPR episode about this last time and they had a hell of a fun time. They get a coffee, sit in their car, take notes and pass it on. Super important. Plus they sometimes get to harass people who are J walking and stuff. I know like 3 retired dudes living around me who would instantly feel honored to do it, and I live in a firmly blue state.

    So many old dudes with nothing to do, is what I learned.

      A legit poll watcher is designated by a campaign and needs proof of their appointment. They are supposed to be inside the polling place (or near it). Those people just sound like assholes

        My point is those people were the people who couldn’t make it, or weren’t needed. I just would never bank on there not being enough old conservative people with nothing to do.
