Just got this in an email from them:


We're getting reports in from our people on the ground in Ohio and Pennsylvania that "poll observers" from True the Vote -- the Tea Party group set up to intimidate voters and challenge (mostly minority) voters' right to vote at the polls -- are being barred from polling places across the states, thanks to the good work of fair elections advocates and lawyers!

(And I'm just adding this note kind of late, but if you're not familiar with PFAW, their name sounds like a right-wing organization (or at least it does to me), but their motto is something like 'Fighting the Far Right". I've contributed to them for several years).
