Romney Campaign Training Poll Watchers To Mislead Voters In Wisconsin
Source: ThinkProgress
Mitt Romney’s campaign has been training poll watchers in Wisconsin with highly misleading — and sometimes downright false — information about voters’ rights.
Documents from a recent Romney poll watcher training obtained by ThinkProgress contain several misleading or untrue claims about the rights of Wisconsin voters. A source passed along the following packet of documents, which was distributed to volunteers at a Romney campaign training in Racine on October 25th. In total, six such trainings were held across the state in the past two weeks.
One blatant falsehood occurs on page 16 of the training packet, which informed poll watchers that any identification cards from a voter “must include a photo”, despite the fact that Wisconsin’s voter ID law has been blocked by multiple state judges for this election.
The training also encouraged volunteers to deceive election workers and the public about who they were associated with. On page 5 of the packet, Romney poll workers were instructed to hide their affiliation with the campaign and told to sign in at the polls as a “concerned citizen” instead. As Kristina Sesek, Romney’s legal counsel who just graduated from Marquette Law School last year, explained, “We’re going to have you sign in this election cycle as a ‘concerned citizen.’ We’re just trying to alleviate some of the animosity of being a Republican observer up front.”

I worry because I'm working the polls here in Florida and the organizers are begging for help in filling all of the slots. It seems very important in PA and hopefully they have had more success in filling all of the shifts.
Good on you to be helping out! 
I'll add this: my husband wanted to know why so many people were needed and had doubts that me helping out would mean anything. This kind of stuff happens everywhere! Every vote counts! To everyone else: please consider getting involved locally to do this. You don't need to be a lawyer; I'm not and will be outside supporting the poll watchers inside.
One thing I've noticed in my neighborhood is that the anti-abortion (R) candidate's for Congress signs are in yards, yet as an assumption, people (R's) are ashamed to put mittytwit signs in their yard. Obama signs winning 5 to 1 in middle class yards and from what I can see, 3 to 1 in our more affluent areas. Neck and neck, my ass! But that's our MSM. If their treason wasn't so serious it would be laughable.
