ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota's political parties are gearing up to watch the polls like never before on Tuesday, after back-to-back statewide recounts in 2008 and 2010.
GOP Chairman Pat Shortridge and his Democratic-Farmer-Labor counterpart Ken Martin said Monday they will send more poll watchers than ever to polling places to look for problems on Election Day.
Martin says the DFL has more than 500 lawyers watching polls around the state. The party is also running an election hotline for voters who encounter problems getting a ballot.
Shortridge says his party is "much better prepared" this year to stop ineligible ballots before they're cast.
Both parties also have teams of lawyers ready to jump into disputes that can't be immediately resolved in polling places.

Eelpout in this State?? UUFF They might as well start the recount's before the Election.
How many Black Panthers
have the DFL/Obama recruited to be at the polls?
How many KKK
have the GOP/Romney recruited to be at the polls???? Slap Slap Slap
Slap yourself, like you always do,
The Democrats created the KKK and for years the leader of the DFL was Grand Wizzard. Fail again, dithers.
Yeah but these days
KKKers are all GOPers, and you know it, Lincoln was considered a 'republican" way back when too.........good luck tomorrow
I honestly wish you
and the rest of the communists terrible luck tomorrow. Other than that, have a nice night.
What a d-bag
you truly are
Another true exposure of
a "tollerant" liberal. You can hide po op in a paper bag but it'll still stink! At least people like me don't sneak up and try to stab people like you in the back.
