From American Thinker: “Recognizing that free and fair elections depend upon citizen involvement, Election Integrity Maryland, empowered by True the Vote in Texas, was formed to ensure that voter registration rolls are accurate and in compliance with federal and state election laws, to encourage citizens to be active participants in the electoral process by volunteering to be election judges and poll watchers, and to offer poll watcher training to registered voters.”

Sadly, the ignorant and the ideological will view this has a conspiracy to discourage the vote.  To believe this, one facilitates illegality.  The law permits, and in some cases encourages, law abiding citizens to help ensure elections are run free and fair.  In many cases, opposition to election integrity measures are merely partisan anxieties dressed up in the garb of voting rights.  The problem for these people is that most Americans believe in following the law, and as long as the law is on the side of groups like Election Integrity Maryland, 2012 is going to be a very different sort of election in places like Maryland, and around the nation.
