We weren't concerned with Democrats because there is no Democrat presidential primary this election cycle. Obama will be the Democratic nominee (it's a given unless they can come up with a better birther argument).

Watch The Vote was formed by Jim Condit Jr. who worked on the Pat Buchanan campaign in 1996 (Republican). He understood where and how the fraud happened against Buchanan and the specifics of how the Iowa state GOP did it. Within two weeks we had almost 2,000 volunteers, but only about 50 of those lived in Iowa. The effectiveness of the group was not that we had broad coverage of watchers, but the fact that the election officials knew people were watching, just not where they were. That was kept secret. I can't help but think that made the process more honest.

even if the Democrats had caucuses this year, I don't think this group would even care about what the Democrats were doing in their own party. The group formed in December were republican candidate supporters that were concerned about a fair process with the GOP nomination. Watch The Vote does not affiliate itself with any party however.

The group's scope was only concerned in the area of vote counting/tabulation accuracy with hand counted votes. They did not get into registration issues and dead people voting... Although a lot of dead people did vote in the NH and SC primaries.

For the general this November, the states that had caucuses for the nomination selection will use voting machines to elect the President. So unfortunately, these kinds of watch efforts will not be possible. The counts are done behind closed doors and both parties having over-seers wherever possible.
