The poll watchers were forced in a corner where they couldn't see anything anyways, in almost all the larger cities. Due to ballot privacy laws and ridiculous interpretations of them, there frequently is no oversight or security for ballot counting....

...the entire crux of security for our nation's ballot counting, and thus the election, falls completely on the shoulders of bipartisan poll observers!

This protection was sidestepped or made ineffective in almost all large cities (battle ground state/counties) in 2020 as a Covid protection.

The stonewalling and restrictions of ballot observers was so bad that emergency lawsuits were filed in many states before the counting was over. The Pennsylvanian state Supreme Court ruled that ballot observers, the only oversight to ballot counting, were not even legally required to be allowed in the same room as ballot counting...this is when you realize our election is a farce.
