Loeffler serves as Georgia GOP poll watcher, Dems deploy their party's precinct monitors
If you’re one of the more than 2.2 million Georgians who have already voted as of Thursday evening, you may have seen a poll watcher or two hanging out at your precinct.
If you cast your ballot at the C.T. Martin Natatorium and Recreation Center in Atlanta Thursday afternoon, one of those poll watchers was Dolly Katz, a retired public health worker who signed up to monitor polls for the Democratic Party for the first time this year.
“I didn’t want to wake up the morning after the election and say there was something I could have done that I didn’t do,” she said.
Both major political parties can assign up to two poll watchers for each precinct, while independent candidates can assign one. The watchers, who must complete training with their party about the rules they are to follow, are able to enter polling places to look out for and report irregularities or problems.
