with folks running ORCA, until we shut them down no more than an hour into the day...Definitely R appointed observers, and I suspect they were True the Vote volunteers.

A few more persistent ones in precincts where the D precinct workers/judges were not as assertive continued to behave badly throughout the day (although ORCA was shut down anywhere I know it was used). We had intermittent reports of R observers directing pollworkers about who to challenge, or acting as an additional precinct worker (while the D observer was kept at a distance of 10-20').
