There has been much discussion about whether votes in this next election will be counted securely.
Every state has rules about what poll observers can do at the polls and how votes can be challenged. Here are the rules for your state:
Washington Anyone has the right to observe any part of the election process. Major political parties also have a responsibility to provide observers to monitor the election process. County auditors must request that observers be appointed by the major political parties to be present during the processing of ballots at the counting center. County auditors have discretion to also request that observers be appointed by any campaigns or organizations. The absence of the observers will not prevent the processing of ballots if the county auditor has requested their presence. (See An Observer’s Guide to Washington State Elections; RCW 29A.40.100)
