One of the most important things everyday citizens can do to help ensure the integrity of the upcoming election is to become a volunteer poll watcher on Election Day.  It is easy to do once you take the free two-hour training class by Tea Party Patriots and Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia (VoterGA) who are members of the Georgia Election Integrity Coalition.  This in-depth training designed by a senior Georgia poll manager provides volunteers an understanding of the background of poll watching, the process of voter flow, understanding of the voting equipment, opening and closing procedures, what happens to the data cards and ballots after the close of Election Day Precincts, helpful tips on what to look for and more.  The training also covers the laws associated with poll watching.
