Trump questions accuracy of Pennsylvania vote counting ahead of election

Poll watchers in Pennsylvania are getting attention after tweets and statements from President Trump on the campaign trail.

The President Monday questioned the accuracy of the vote count in Pennsylvania and urged poll watchers to be vigilant.


On Tuesday he tweeted, "Philadelpiha MUST HAVE POLLWATCHERS!"

Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar says there have always been poll watchers. "That hasn't changed, so his tweets, again... voters need to ignore the disinformation. There's so much disinformation out there."

She also said the law governing poll watchers hasn't changed. "They can't make you feel intimidated or obstruct your ability to vote, they can ask you for documentation, but if they're there in the background, that's fine."

Poll watchers are certified by county election officials a few days before election day.
