Continuing my point above, I just want all the election rules followed equally on both sides. If the law says they have to let observers oversee the count, then the observation would need to be meaningful. Getting nitty about, well, what does that mean? The minimum distance has to be specified? C'mon. That's ridiculous. The purpose of observers is to make sure no one is cheating. So reasonably close enough to be able to determine that. But I can see where they might want to try to maintain social distance, and require masks or shields. Fairly applied. That's what I ask. If it's not, then they have a grievance. I don't want to see one side claiming "fraud!" where there really was non just to prevent a losing vote to be certified, as a means to victory. I also don't want to see people secretly counting votes and using tricks to keep observers away to hide it. I kinda see both things happening.
I see no reason why, if social distancing is a concern, that vote counters couldn't be overlooked by exactly the kind of high resolution cameras that watch dealers and croupiers at a casino. It disgusts me when either side pushes the process into grey areas and/or manipulates the rules for partisan advantage and then has the gall to talk about 'the will of the people'
I see unequivocally verifying that a potential voter is eligible as well as who they say they are as bedrock and non-negotiable. If it is too inconvenient to vote, then don't vote - the system should not be warped to accommodate the outliers
There should be at least as much security inherent in the voting transaction as there is in a financial one
