Possibly related - perhaps organizational issues. Example: http://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2016/08/trump-nj-headquarters-closed-not-long-after-it-opened-104651
Edit - I don't know why I was downvoted for posting that he's having trouble. He needs help. If you're not going to help him, then don't bitch when Hillary gets away with stealing the election AGAIN,

First off, the signup to be an election observer is bullshit--after taking your contact information it takes you to a donation page--that's really what they're looking for.
Also, the type of election watching he's proposing is illegal. The Republican Party got hammered back in 1982 and has been under a consent decree ever since for taking action to intimidate and suppress voters. Here's an article that talks about it if anyone is actually interested.
Plus there's no evidence that voter fraud is a problem--the odds of voter fraud occurring are higher than getting hit by lightning. It's just all bullshit & bluster. That said, I signed up on the website just to see how many pleas for donations I'll get.

Not to mention the vote hacking is done electronically by machines . You can observe all you want and it will look good from the outside.

He's soliciting people (including armed, off-duty cops) to go stand at the polling locations. Other than that, he hasn't been clear. You can't hover over the election officials who are doing the tallying (plus, those folks are both Republicans and Democrats so they watch each other). My parents work at the polls and help tally the results and that's a whole thing that nobody can interfere with. The only other option is to watch the people who show up to vote. Where I live you have to show some kind of ID...drivers license, military ID, something government issue. They check you off against their list. Not sure what else could be done?
Honestly, I think this is just an attempt to steer people towards donations (the confirmation email I got also linked to a donation page). That, or he's just planting the seeds that he'll only lose if the election is stolen. I'm kind of concerned about that allegation because it's pretty damn clear that he's WAY behind in all the polls so I seriously doubt anybody would have to "rig" the voting results in order to beat him at this point. It would be pretty sorry if he loses and then claims that it was rigged--that's the way you get people hurt, and having family who actually work at the polling stations, it makes me pretty uncomfortable that anybody would suggest that what they're doing is dishonest.

i hope i see a trump observer, i will walk up and punch him in the dick, the when he starts to cry i will just say i was kidding, and he will stop crying and try to be my friend, cuz you know, trump supporters are morons who believe anything that is not based on fact, and yes i will punch the guy again and tell him i am joking and start the process all over again, idiots, lol
