ST. CHARLES, Mo. — A Republican committeeman has asked a judge to stop early voting in Missouri’s third-largest county until it allows “watchers” or “challengers” to observe the polls.
Under state law, each political party on the ballot can designate a “challenger” for every polling place on Election Day. For absentee voting, challengers are allowed at locations where ballots are counted. “When election authorities deny the presence of a Challenger or Watcher, the safety and transparency of the elections are compromised,” Heins wrote in his petition.Bahr said his office initially expected about 2,500 people to vote each day during the two-week early voting period that ends Monday. Some days, about 5,000 people have cast ballots. The county has 420,000 residents.
