1. It's been in the news that they requested that

information from several battleground states and the state SOSs do not intend to comply.

2. Less sensitive than you might think.

In most states, properly credentialed observers are permitted to observe all aspects of early voting including how the ballots are handled.

The first election I was an observer for was in a Republican jurisdiction. I was in the rooms where the ballots and voting machines were stored. I observed the early processing of the ballots, prior to election day.

You do generally have to be trained and swear or affirm that you will behave yourself. But the entire voting process is typically transparent.

6. Trump can't win w/o PA, can he?

Found some interesting article on this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/01/politics/election-2020-polls-arizona-pennsylvania/index.html

I actually think Biden will win AZ. This is because he is polling higher and there is no voter suppression in that state. Even if trump wins PA, w/o AZ he can’t win. This is assuming that Biden will win WI and MI where he is far ahead and voter suppression efforts there are nothing compared to GA, FL or TX.

7. They probably want to bring lighter fluid and matches...

... to the states that don't count them until election day.

8. Solution seems simple

Comply, but tell them that the information is in the mail.

9. I really hope other states come through so we don't need PA or WI

It's obvious that PA will be ground zero for trump cheaters.

10. sounds like an opportunity for a decoy

Set up some fake "secure" place with a booby prize, and if it is compromised arrest them.
