candidate or political party he or she represents. The watchers and 
challengers shall have the right to be present in the polling place but 
outside the voting booths and to watch the election officials, the 
balloting, the call, the tally, and the recording of the result of the 
vote. It shall be the duty of the watcher to watch, listen, and observe 
the count for all candidates voted for to insist upon an honest and fair 
count but shall have no further authority than to have the election 
judges and clerks note or record any objections to the count and to 
challenge the result thereof. The challenger shall have the right to 
question any voter and his right to vote.
