BEAVERTON -- Sharon Cornish stands for the third hour, her head thrust as far forward as it will go, engrossed with the hundreds of ballot signatures being checked against computer images just 3 feet away.
As a voluntary observer at Washington County's Elections Division office, Cornish is allowed to watch, but not object, touch or, for the most part, speak. She and a group of fellow Republicans, mostly retirees, organized through a series of shifts, have taken the tradition of poll watching to another level.
