I was.

Some guy standing behind the little old ladies who were in charge of the address books clicked my info into his palm pilot as I was being issued my ballot.

I felt a little violated but there's nothing I can do since this sort of activity is permitted by law.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is saying that in some places Observers outnumber poll workers.

There was a lady running around betwen the precincts with a large button that said "Election Observer", or something like that.  Never saw that before.

As I was finishing one of the workers looking out the window said welp here comes the observer.

She was wearing a american flag blouse kinda thing.

As I was leaving a lady walked in with a W crossed out shirt with pro kerry crap on the back.

I didn't feel like waiting to see if she got booted out.   Law says no political materials in a place of polling.

I wasn't observed but there was this totally hot,  completely stacked blond chick voting in the next booth. It was highly distracting and I observed her as much as possible.

Also in NH and I was observed at voter check-in.  

Incidentally, the only place I was ever disenfrachised was at Macdonalds

San Diego.  About 30 people there voting.  Didn't notice anyone or anything out of the ordinary.

Everything looked like it was running like a Swiss watch.

I was observing a majorly fine ass/leg combo in a short business suit about 10 feet ahead of me.  It made the hour wait fly by...

I didn't know such a creature lived in my precinct...

Had a random urinalysis this morning. The observer watched EVERYTHING! Good news though, I voted in private.
