ProPublica: “At a September campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the president encouraged his audience to be poll watchers. ‘Watch all the thieving and stealing and robbing they do,’ he said. ‘Because this is important.’ But the poll-watching army that the Trumps have tried to rally hasn’t materialized. Although there’s no official data, election officials across the country say that they have seen relatively few Republican poll watchers during early voting, and that at times Democratic poll watchers have outnumbered the GOP’s. In Colorado and Nevada, where the Trump campaign was particularly active in recruiting poll watchers, its efforts largely petered out.”
“Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state in Georgia, a swing state experiencing a record voter turnout, said both county governments and political parties can supply poll watchers in Georgia. Most are showing up in Fulton County, whose seat is Atlanta. ‘I am receiving reports of a few thousand poll watchers from a variety of left-leaning groups. There are very few poll watchers from right-leaning groups,’ she said. ‘The Trump campaign is simply calling for additional poll watchers because they know there is a dearth of right-leaning poll watchers.'”
