They have no legal standing to show harm. Nice try.

Betting-- just as there are precincts where itās believable Romney garnered zero ballots cast?
Those (R)s out in Philly County donāt wish to wade into said precincts?

They claim (formally in Count II of their federal lawsuit) that poll-watching is ācore political speechā and that it constitutes āfree association with candidates, political parties, and political bodies.ā These things, they argue, are protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments ā and the stateās residency requirement is therefore an abridgment of their rights.

Chaos and destruction = I think thatās the GOP ticket heās really talking about.
Sounds pretty baseless to me and it is a very late date to try something like this.

I think itās the RNC and a couple states. Consent decrees are usually pretty specific.
I think thatās a pretty thin argument because they stretched the hell out of it to make it fit a constitutional question and there really isnāt one, I donāt think.

The hilarious thing is that these sad, pasty wankers in their crumbling rural towns think that those criminally scary and thuggish black people who see some lone white cracker in a pickup truck in their own urban neighborhoods are suddenly going to run away screaming in a panic.
Itās the same cognitive dissonance that the rednecks display about Obama: heās a feckless patsy who constantly gets abused by foreign powers at the same time heās a tyrannical despot telling white people what they can grow in their gardens.

I think poll handlers is a better term for these guys. And what little tiny hands they haveā¦
Trumpās last hope is the theft of the election by his supporters.

This reeks of desperation, and I do hope this action is laughed out of court. An imaginary āvoter fraudā problem is remedied by shipping in āextra muscleā from out of town? I donāt think soā¦the real fraud is the man at the top of the GOP ticket. He has no business being there, but Republican primary voters have spoken. Heās all theirs and they are stuck with him. Heās still going to lose.

The poll watchers these 8 āfineā citizens are hoping for will be armed and will not be in their counties - itās the counties where the less-fine citizens live that are the problem. Such a blatantly ridiculous suit that I hope is swiftly thrown out.

If the Plaintiffs would like to come down to Atlanta, Iād be happy to take them to the MLK, Jr. Museum, so that they can see we already tried this in the U.S., and it didnāt work.

Clearly, qualifications and training mean nothing to a Trump supporter.

I read it; I just donāt buy it. 
Thatās a pretty thin argument to make and I hope the court tosses it forthwith. Thank you for the clarification.

The RNC is pissing themselves over Trumpās sycophantās actions with regard to poll-watching.
The longstanding decree set forth in the early-80s-- was to be revisited and possibly lifted in 2017 (or 2018?)-- and here come the racists from under every rock-- just in the nickoātime.
There is no calling off Trumpās horde.
Trump canāt even do it-- even if he could bring himself to try.
There is no coordination. Only chaos.
At this juncture? In advance of a looming blowout electorally?
I say bring on any and all forms of shark-jumping.
Give the country a full-measure of the darkest side of conservatism.
So it can be euthanized in the most public fashion.

They might (might) have a stronger case to show harm if they were in-state. Out-of-state āmonitorsā have their own elections, and more importantly, their own Electors. What I do in NY doesnāt impact the members of the Electoral College you vote for in Texas.
