Tim Posnanski, the county’s election commissioner, told fellow commissioners that there appeared to be two Trump representatives at some tables where tabulators were counting ballots, breaking rules that require one observer from each campaign per table. Posnanski said some of Trump’s representatives appeared to be posing as independents.
