A thing I always want to say to "election observers" - i.e. usually right-wingers on a field trip to be angry at people - is why didn't you volunteer and pitch in?

Like, if you really want it to be run fairly, help run it. But yeah I know this is more a hypothetical question than anything.

I'm just glad that we vote from home here after years of standing in lines
