To expand on this, poll watchers can be partisan, but there has to be an equal representation of R/D/I in the room. Trump poll watchers wanted in, but there weren't any additional D or I watchers to allow the additional Trump watchers. Additionally, there are mandated distances that poll watchers must be from the ballots. They are entitled to watch the process, but are not entitled to access the personal information on the ballots. They are also not allowed to have cameras. The instance of throwing up the cardboard, which some of us saw live on TV, was because Trump poll watchers were not allowed in because the maximum were already in, so they took out cameras and tried to film from the other side of the glass. That is strictly prohibited unless a member of the media is doing it. Some claimed to be the media, but did not have acceptable press credentials. So far, all of the evidence is actually evidence that Trump poll watchers either didn't know about the poll watching laws or flat out ignored them.
