Election commissions across Arkansas are completing last-minute training for poll workers in preparation for the upcoming general election. And this election cycle presents possible challenges, including potential vigilante poll watchers concerned about a "rigged election." We sit in on a poll worker training seminar and talk with a local county election coordinator about the rules of "poll watching" and polling place security.

MUSIC: "Nagoya Guitars" Steve Reich and Mats Bergstrom
