Description | A video of Republicans being trained to commit voter fraud has gone viral across the Internet. Now GOP lawmakers are stepping forward to defend the tactics despite their conceded illegality.
At issue are "poll watchers." These are privately paid individuals who are there, as the title would suggest, to watch polling stations and report back anything unusual to their respective employers. The other task is to hassle voters about their identification, which is a crime. In New Mexico it is illegal to require identification to vote.
