While you can challenge registrations, you can't watch polls. There are several parts to the solution to this problem, that has PROVED it will bring our republic down: Centralize the registration process in each county, requiring proof of residence for registration. Require that an applicant prove he/she can read and write. Keep the registration rolls locked up at the state capitol, as secure as state funds. Allow voting at the precinct level (no mall voting, restricted absentee voting-military yes-everyone else can get their ass home) but require that the counts take place at a central location which can be observed by all parties or candidates' representatives. Would this eliminate vote fraud? Not all. But the Clinton/Gore obscenities of 2000 are so obvious and massive that it is possible to make a dent in them with just a modicum of diligence. We will continue to have these crimes committed against our republic until we all realize that the problem is real, and that the evil in our political system use the weaknesses to steal power...
