Who Watches the Poll Watchers?
As of April 15, 2021, state lawmakers have introduced at least 40 bills in 20 different states that would expand the powers of poll watchers.

AZ SB 1595; FL SB 656; GA HB 531; GA SB 74; GA SB 202; HI HB 853; IA HF 590; IA SF 413; IL HB 3553; LA HB 599; MA HB 816; MD HB 1145; MI SB 276; MI SB 309; MO HB 738; MT SB 93; NH SB 89; NV AB 163; NV AB 248; NY AB 1493; NY SB 1027; OR SB 824; PA SB 322; TX HB 6; TX HB 1128; TX SB 1591; TX HB 2601; TX HB 3107; TX HB 3970; TX HB 4364; TX SB 7; TX SB 598; TX SB 605; TX SB 1215; TX SB 1535; TX SB 1607; TX SB 1608; TX SB 1611; WA HB 1554; WI SB 210.
Of those, 12 bills are moving in six states.

MO HB 738; MT SB 93; NH SB 89; NY SB 1027; TX HB 6; TX HB 1128; TX HB 3107; TX HB 3970; TX HB 4364; TX SB 7; TX SB 598; WI SB 210.
“Moving” means the bill is still live and has passed one or both chambers or has had some sort of committee action — namely a committee hearing (already held or scheduled), an amendment, or a committee vote.
The plurality of bills introduced and currently moving have been filed in Texas. Two bills have been enacted into law (GA SB 202, IA SF 413).
Expanded Observation Access
At least thirty-three bills have been introduced to give watchers more authority to observe voters and election officials, with fewer limitations on their actions at polling places and other locations, increasing the possibility of voter intimidation and harassment.
