Republicans Push "Poll Watchers" Plot To Intimidate Minority Voters

Republican and Tea Party strategists are promoting a "poll watching" program to place their operatives at polling stations in order to intimidate minority voters.  Phyllis Schlafly hypes the plan today at World Net Daily:

The wide use of absentee and mail-in ballots has destroyed our traditional American secret ballot. This is a major loss of an important American right and an open door to election fraud. It’s important to know that it’s much easier to prevent vote fraud beforehand than it is to overturn an election suspected of being plagued with fraud. Can individual citizens do something to prevent vote fraud, or can we count on the government to protect us from the cheaters? There are things you can do right now, before the election. You can volunteer to be a poll watcher, sometimes called poll observers or challengers or checkers, and usually at least one watcher is allowed to be close enough to the election officials to be able to compare the voter’s signature with the verification record.  State laws vary about the rights and duties of poll watchers and how many can be in a polling place. You can get some helpful advice and good instructions by contacting www.truethevote.org.

One commenter at the above-linked story suggests using cell phone cameras to "unsettle" voters that appear to be the type to vote against Jesus.
