Here in Louisiana all party poll observers have to be registered and show identification to work at polling stations, otherwise either party could stack polling stations with enough people to intimidate voters. The asnwer is as simple as the article states - go to the courthouse and get your court order, and then you can do your job lawfully. This is not partisan, just acting according to State laws.

Two of them are form each party and the Judge of the Election (May have the title wrong, but you get the idea) is by majority vote. Given that Pennsylvania has a large number or electors and in this campaign has been seen as the most important battle ground, I am not surprised at this occurrence. I am not a legal expert, so I will defer to the Courts judgement on the issue. I do however fond their presence a bit suspect at the polls. The right to vote is the very foundation of our democracy. Everyone entitled to vote should do so as a matter of patriotic duty. Anything less than a free and fair election where every vote counts is un-American and beyond shame.

It seems an odd rule, but if that's the way it is they have to comply like everybody else. Democrat or Republican makes no difference - If you don't belong at a polling place under the law, you should not be there!

If the law states they are not allowed without a court order, how can you possibly argue that they should be allowed? I am sure the same thing is happening to Democrats in the rural districts with a Republican majority. Can anyone give an honest explanation as to why these few should suddenly be exempt from the word of Law? I don't understand what the argument is against this.

You'd think that you just can't trust anyone anymore when it comes to voting that you need to have someone from another party looking over your shoulder. Philadelphia is not going to make this election, it is all the people who have given whatever little they have to Obama to make this election a reality. To have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Freedom at its best.

To McCain...The only change you've represented is the daily message of your confused, erratic campaign. Your ideas are old and outdated. You only adopted "change" after you saw the traction that Obama got with that message. Even in the final hours of your pathetic campaign, all you could talk about was Obama. You don't even know what your position on the key issues is anymore. It's time for you to fade into the sunset; you will never be president. Get over it. Goodbye. To Palin...Your fifteen minutes already seem to have lasted a lifetime. You have brought comedy to this election by your ignorance, closed mindedness, and whacked-out right-wing views. You have given people across this country and throughout the world more laughs than you will ever know. Your inability to put a complete sentence together has made you a laughing stock. Your presence has confirmed McCain's complete lack of judgment. It's time for you to go. Goodbye Sarah Baraclueless.

It seems to be stroked by bipartisanism of whatever party. That is most dangerous to the long-term health of this Country. Suppression of voting, court orders, etc. are all one in the same -- an attempt to divert the simple process of voting who will lead. The act of voting should be available to all citizens of this country. Voting should always be encouraged. Both Republicans and Democrats have spend millions -- perhaps billions -- of dollars to ensure an election we can be proud of as Americans. Yet we machines and procedures that do not work. We are not going down the right path. We need to step back and have an effort to get it right. It is absolutely amazing the hatred and bile that continues to be spewed out by whatever party.
