Donald Trump, who has spread the myth of "large scale voter fraud" in the United States, will have 150 registered poll watchers on election day in Miami-Dade County.
And Hillary Clinton? She will have 903 -- the highest number for any candidate or party in Miami-Dade.
Poll watchers must register with the supervisor of elections. They are allowed to stand within voting areas to observe elections.
The Republican Party will have 88 and Sen. Marco Rubio will have 39. Rubio's opponent, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, has zero.
U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo has 14 while his Democratic opponent former U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia has zero. Sen. Miguel de la Portilla has 13 while his Democratic opponent State Rep. José Javier Rodríguez, has zero.
Clinton also has far more poll watchers than Trump for early voting in Miami-Dade, the county with the highest number of registered voters.
Incidents of voter fraud are typically rare and of a localized nature such as what we have seen with recent arrests in Miami-Dade, too small to influence a national election. PolitiFact ruled Trump's claim of "large scale voter fraud" as Pants on Fire.
