AUSTIN — Texas Secretary of State John Scott today encouraged Texans to learn how to get involved in their local elections by learning how to become election workers, poll watchers, student voting clerks and volunteer deputy registrars through the Texas Secretary of State's online training resources available at www.votetexas.gov.
"Having a safe and secure election starts with well-trained and dedicated election workers at the local level, and we want to make sure all Texans who want to get involved have the resources and information they need to support county officials who are working around the clock to prepare for the upcoming election cycle," Secretary Scott said. "Whether you want to help out with voter registration or the voting process itself, we are here to provide the training and certification necessary to strengthen election administration, voter participation and voter confidence across the state."

Poll watchers are allowed to observe and report on irregularities in the conduct of any election, but may not interfere in the orderly conduct of an election.

Oath and Qualifications
Before being accepted, the poll watcher must take the following oath, administered by the presiding judge at the polling place:
"I swear (or affirm) that I will not disrupt the voting process or harass voters in the discharge of my duties."
To become a poll watcher, you must:
Be a registered voter of the territory (e.g., city, school district) covered by the election and of the county for November general elections for state and county officers (held on even-numbered years), primary elections, or other countywide elections;
NOT be a candidate for public office in an election held on the day the watcher seeks to serve;

These include spouses, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren. A watcher may be related to the candidate the watcher is representing.
Removal from Polling Place
A presiding judge at a polling location may not have a watcher removed from the polling place unless a violation of election law or any other provision of law relating to the conduct of an election is observed by an election judge or clerk. However, a presiding judge may remove a poll watcher for a violation of the Penal Code, regardless of whether the election judge or clerk observed the violation. Additionally, a presiding judge may call a law enforcement officer to request a poll watcher be removed if the poll watcher commits a breach of the peace or a violation of law.

Some domestic violent extremists have continued to advocate for violence in response to false or misleading narratives about unsubstantiated election fraud. The months preceding the upcoming 2022 midterm elections could provide additional opportunities for these extremists and other individuals to call for violence directed at democratic institutions, political candidates, party offices, election events, and election workers.

Maria Bartiromo On Hillary Clinton Spying On President Trump
"When specifically did the FBI start working with the Clinton campaign? That is what we need to know now because we know that Hillary Clinton made the whole thing up, but how is it possible that her people were able to infiltrate the POTUS server, as well as his home, as well as a healthcare company?
This 'tech-executive 1' apparently had government contracts that enabled him to get this information and get this access to these servers so much so that it went right to the POTUS...
This is the biggest scandal we have ever seen. Now, we know for sure they tried to cheat in the 2016 election, they tried to cheat in the 2020 election."
