Write down any irregularities The goal is to force/intimidate election judges to obey polling rules with their presence

Write down the names of the officials

Officials should not be by the machines

Write preliminary counts from printout of the machines to make sure its at 0

Challenge or question officials about any weird activities

Keep track of number of voters and check with table of officials

“Never get in an argument”

If there are a lot of Absentee Ballots = Red Flag

Keep getting closer to the tables

Restriction is atleast 10ft

Get closer by saying they can’t hear the election judge Push the rules until they tell you to move back Always challenge the election judges

Judges of Elections should NEVER be around machines alone

Ask for a copy of the voter printouts at the end of the day

Striker—checks off people on their list of voters

Fraud—going to poor GOP places or historical places of fraud
