Some voting rights activists are concerned that Republican poll watchers could be disruptive.
FILE PHOTO-Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump attends the Oakland County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Novi, Michigan, US on June 25, 2023.Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says that if he does not win the November 5 election, he will cry fraud and not accept the results – just as he did four years ago when he lost to Democratic President Joe Biden.
One key difference this time is that Trump does not have the presidential levers of power that he did in 2020. And new state and federal laws have been put in place to make it more difficult to influence election results. Both parties plan to dispatch thousands of trained volunteers called poll watchers to monitor voting and vote counting with a mandate to report any irregularities.
Five of the seven battleground states have Democratic governors but Democratic activists worry about Georgia, whose state election board recently gave unprecedented authority to local officials to conduct inquiries, a move they say could give an opening to bad-faith actors who attempt to contest or delay the vote count.
