Dems Allege RNC Conducted Illegal Poll Watching in Nevada

 

by Zachary Roth

Democrats are alleging in court that the Republican National Committee (RNC) violated a longstanding agreement not to conduct poll monitoring activities, and denied the activities to a judge.

Lawyers for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Monday evening submitted a sworn affidavit in which Ellyn Lindsay, a DNC poll worker, describes meeting a woman named Shana Holland who described herself as an RNC poll watcher at a Las Vegas polling place last week.

In a text message to Lindsay accompanying the affidavit, said to come from Holland, the sender writes: "This is Shana from RNC."

Lindsay added: "Ms. Holland also told me that she had been instructed by the RNC that she did not have to tell anyone the party or organization for which she was observing the polls. Specifically, she showed me an email that she said was from the RNC, and which stated in bold lettering that as a poll worker she was not obligated to tell anyone that she was observing with the Republicans."
