Vishnu Ramaswamy was one of dozens of poll watchers who hovered around voting places today, ready to leap at any complaints of irregularities or registration problems.

Ramaswamy, a third-year law student at the University of Minnesota, was working for a DFL action center in South Minneapolis. Things had been quiet, he said, except for a voting machine glitch that slowed down the election process for two precincts.

“We just want to make sure we are not losing voters,” Ramaswamy said.
