[EL] “Fairfax County Democrats sue over rules for observers at polling places”

[Bruce Adelson]

Good afternoon:
 
I am unaware that Fairfax County has bailed out of VRA Section 5.
 
This poll watcher proposal sounds like a "change affecting voting" that requires preclearance before implementation.

I am amazed that the VA Democrats are filing suit, in effect, to allow True the Vote poll watchers to talk directly to voters. This is an invitation for poll watchers to harassment of minority voters.  Poll watchers should never talk to voters in the polls, only to poll workers. Otherwise things can rapidly spiral out of control. This is nuts.
