Disagree on grounds that poll watchers are required to be given the opportunity to observe any time a ballot is being processed. If these employees said "Y'all should go home for the night." then I would agree with you. However, if they said "We are done counting ballots until tomorrow morning, nothing to see here." then they would be in violation as the watchers were lied to and not given the opportunity to observe. This has been confirmed by media on that night when they stated no more ballots will be counted until morning as well as the sworn affidavits.

How can one be ALLOWED to observe a process that is not taking place as stated by the person in charge of that process? If that process then does take place in direct contradiction to what was relayed to the media and watchers (again, confirmed by the media on election night as well), how would this NOT violate election code? This seems pretty cut and dry.
