[EL] how does election observing work at polling places?

[Doug Hess]

I assume this varies by state, but what are the various "positions" at a
polling place and who fills them? I.e., what do salaried election staff do,
volunteers, paid temporary staff, party observers, etc. do? How do the True
the Vote people fit into that? Are they trying to fill the party observer
role or train those people? Or is there some other role any old citizen can
play by hanging around inside the precinct place?
