Republicans deploy army of poll watchers across Virginia in election for governor
Poll watching, Knotts said, is a “hands-on” way for those with questions to get them answered. He said 500 to 600 people have signed up, ascribing the influx of volunteers to concerns about election integrity and enthusiasm for Youngkin.
“Their job is to see anything that looks irregular and point it out. We’re not there trying to trap anybody or cause a disruption - it’s just to watch the process,” he said.
