In reply to the discussion: Trump campaign planning to deploy 100K attorneys, volunteers to monitor vote counts [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(146,746 posts)37. You do not want uniform officers at polling places
I have had to protest and call the election office when there were uniform officers at a polling place in that this can intimidate some voters. In 2016, I was running the statewide Clinton voter protection and we had some officers in Bexar county standing outside with weapons. I called the secretary of state on this and they promised to look into it.
One of these tools used for voter protection a nation-wide DNC database called LBJ where all voting related incidents are gathered and documented for later use if there is litigation.

I'm an attorney who has served as a Democratic election observer and adviser. And haven't been paid a dime.

A suggestion. Instead of just pooh-poohing the repubs plan, sign up to be a Democratic volunteer observer
