USA: Efforts to prevent voter fraud draw scrutiny, NPR (2010)

This article reports on the proliferation of new citizens groups created to monitor elections in the United States. These groups, who have been campaigning as well, will set up surveillance teams outside polling stations to prevent voter fraud (even offering rewards for information). Some people, however, are concerned about their real intentions and believe that voters will be intimidated and discouraged from voting. The New York University Law School is monitoring this phenomenon. The Democratic Party filed a suit against one of this group in Texas, the King Street Patriots, claiming that they target Democratic voters and minorities.
