Some of Trump's lawsuits claimed election fraud because there were no poll watchers...and I'm sure "poll watcher" in that case referred to "Trump watcher". But, does anyone know of any states/counties/polling places that don't normally have bono fide election poll watchers or didn't have poll watchers?
I would think, state election officials would have anticipated an extraordinary level of scrutiny with the Nov 3 election and would have taken extraordinary measures to minimize any doubt of election "irregularities".

Trump is talking about ballot counting watchers, not poll watchers. Hes that ignorant of the election process. Hes also confusing people.
