Buddha blesses optimism -but also will not indulge in delusions
They are not allowed to audit. So now, they aren't allowed close enough to see the ballots. See how easy that was?
That doesn't say what you think it says, Anchovies, and I suspect that's what you fail;ed to quote any text.
Authorized representatives are permitted to be present when envelopes containing official absentee ballots and mail-in ballots are opened and when such ballots are counted and recorded. This includes both the pre-canvass and canvass.

It will be in the lawsuit filed by the president’s lawyers but I did see the Republican observer say that he was not allowed to be close enough to see the ballots.

Predictions and anecdotal statements are not proof, Earl.
A state appeals court on Thursday granted more access to party and candidate observers, allowing them to get closer — 6 feet away — to election workers processing mail-in ballots in Philadelphia.
The decision came after the Trump campaign complained that its observer could not get close enough to election workers to see the writing on mail-in ballot envelopes, to ensure that the envelope contains a signature and an eligible voter’s name and address.
Ballots without that kind of information could be challenged or disqualified.

So? They are not allowed to see the ballots, meaning they cannot see who the person voted for. They can observe the ballots being opened. They cannot look at the ballot itself.
Sure as hell does, “authorized,” meaning the party designates watchers who are then authorized by the local election board to serve as official poll watchers, and as I said, that is in addition to election inspectors who are doing the counting, again, one from each party
People can not just show up and demand to be poll watchers, use common sense, did you think those hundred or so clowns that were pounding on the windows in Philly were all going to be let in to hover over those doing the counting?
Who told you that?
They are allowed to observe the ballots. They have not been allowed.
A judge just ruled that they can be within 6ft.
See how easy that was?
God damn, you're stupid. Observers at ballot counting facilities are not the same as poll watchers, Anchovies.
He doesn’t know what he is talking about, those people reviewing and counting the ballots have been selected by the local political party, every station has a Democrat, Republican, and an Independent representative. The poll watchers are also picked by the local party and approved by the local elections board, which in itself has equal Rep and Dem employees
“Copy and paste” is just too obstinate to accept the facts
Just imagine you are working to open and count ballots, and you have to do your job six feet away from an angry, ignorant knuckledragging moron who doesn't believe that the virus is real. I'd venture a guess that a bunch of them will just quit, slowing the process down even further.
Oh, so now we are going to dispute semantics? If poll watchers aren’t observers what in the hell is there function in being there?
Jesus, you're stupid.
Poll watchers are present during in-person voting at the polls, Anchovies. Hence the name "poll watcher".
Observers are present after the election when absentee and mailed ballots are being opened and counted.

You can imagine as many things as you like, and you can venture as many guesses as you like.
You still think that poll watchers are observing a separate post-election process? How? In a time machine?
Modesty forbids me to accept your kind appraisal.
