In Wisconsin they have made it quite clear the lawyers will be at the polls to offer legal advice to election workers manning the polls.

Thune lost his last Senate bid in South Dakota because the Dems sent Lawyers to the Indian reservations to bully the workers. It worked.

mjfdl, That used to be, and still should be, against the law for lawyers, or anyone else, to be meddling into the affairs of the polls. Lawyers are some of the most biased people in the country when it comes to legislation, and do not want to lose their influence in both houses of Congress.

If the polls in America are becoming so corrupt that it takes lawyers to play police men, we are coming to the stage where we can kiss our democracy asses goodbye.
