There has been no election fraud proven in the last election and no reason to think there will be any in this election, at least not from the Democrats. The right has endlessly claimed that Trump lost in 2020 because of fraud and despite filing more than 60 cases alleging fraud, they were not able to provide any evidence. Every single case one of those cases was lost or tossed out by the judge.
If election fraud were an issue, stopping it would be a good thing, but it isn’t an issue. This is a conservative boogieman used to scare foolish people into breaking the law and committing election fraud to help Trump win.
Wouldn’t having trumpy people watching it not increase their confidence in the result?
I’m afraid not. The Trump supporters are so convinced that the democrats are cheating that they see conspiracies every where they look. Last time, partizan observers saw wheeled ballot containers under a table and reported it as suitcases of ballots being illegally counted. Surveillance footage showed nothing untoward actually happened, but the claims went viral among trump supporters who needed no more evidence than the initial claims.
Sending in hordes of ill-informed, poorly trained observers who will jump at shadows is a recipe for chaos. They will claim that every ballot counter who so much as scratches their nose is somehow trying to steal the election from Trump, again without any evidence at all. In fact, these people are the worst choice for observers because, as highly religious people, they are inclined to trust their beliefs rather than observable facts.
Wouldn’t foxes guarding the henhouse make the henhouse more foxproof?
Isn’t the allegation though that the dems are doing the interference?
