I don't pretend to be an "ethical person", and that makes you so mad.
Yes, rhetoric aside they are permissable, but you can't just storm the facility. Which is what these chowderheads are doing.
Who told you that?
DEMOCRATS say that was election cheating.
Your naiveté is sad, Earl.
You are home now, Earl.

Not true, more right wing framed news, there are official party election inspectors at every counting station, one Democrat, one Republican, and one Independent, and as designated by the local party organization, a limited number of poll watchers. For some reason, probably cause their media told them so, wingers think anybody can just show up and serve as a poll watcher, thusly resulting in the scene in Philadelphia with dozens of Trumpkins pounding on the glass shouting they should be allowed in to “watch” the counting
I can read. You should try it some time. They are doing this in Michigan and Arizona. They are attempting to audit the work of election officials in Pennsylvania. They are showing up en masse at various locations. And no one is being denied LEGAL access to observe the process. So stop whining.
Who told you that?
Each party has official observers they picked and authorized already there, these clowns, again from listening to Trump, think anyone regardless of the numbers have the right to just walk in and stand over those counting the votes
The Republican election inspectors were not allowed to be close enough to see the ballots, anchovies.
Concart is lying.
I saw proof to the opposite.
The official Republican observer was not allowed close enough to see the ballots.

Unless said proof is cited and available for verification, it is not proof.
Who told you that?
Not stolen yet.
Ah, perhaps because it is the law, in Pennsylvania, as well as other places (https://www.votespa.com/Your-Rights/Pages/Poll-Watchers.aspx), must be the demagogues you watch forgot to fill you in on those details
Think about it, use a little common sense, given the attention all these Board of Elections knew they were going to get, especially in what was thought to be swing States where Trump lawsuits were givens, you don’t think those in charge went out of their way to insure that everything was above board and transparent?
