Excuse me sir,  it’s The Criminal Left.

Anyhow, this is how it will predictably in sorts play out if the GOP wins the case, even through the Supreme Court. Same number of poll watchers at every poll, then the lefties will cause some sort of mayhem and shove out the GOP watchers, swap in ballots then scream “election deniers!!”

Have 5 each from both sides at each polling station plus 2 independents. Simple really.

Sure it’s simple on paper but never underestimate the shenanigans of the left.

The problem seems to lie in finding Republicans that are suitable for the position......that doesn't come as any great shock.

Michigan law does not require poll watchers (referred to as "election challengers" in the state) to be present in equal numbers from the Democratic and Republican parties, or any other political parties.

 

The law allows each party, candidate, or qualifying organization to appoint poll watchers, but it does not mandate an equal balance between parties.

### Key Points:
1. **Appointment by Parties**: Each political party, independent candidate, or qualifying organization can appoint election challengers. These challengers must be registered voters in Michigan.

2. **No Requirement for Equal Numbers**: There is no legal requirement for the number of challengers from different parties to be equal at any given polling place or absentee counting board. The number of challengers allowed from each party can vary based on the decisions of the parties and the specific needs of the polling place.

3. **Local Election Official Discretion**: The number of challengers permitted at a polling location is determined by local election officials, based on the size of the polling place and the need to maintain order. This means that while multiple parties may have challengers present, their numbers do not need to be equal.

4. **Role of Poll Watchers**: Regardless of their number, all poll watchers must adhere to the rules governing their conduct. They are there to observe the election process and may challenge voters if they have reason to believe a voter is not eligible, but they cannot disrupt the voting process or interact with voters directly.

In summary, Michigan law does not require an equal number of poll watchers from different political parties. The focus is on allowing authorized parties and organizations to have observers present while ensuring the smooth operation of the election process.

It's watchers, not voters. Conspiracy thoughts all over again.
