Secretary of State Rejects Obama Campaign Letter Attempting to Authorize Poll Observers

This doesn't seem like a real big deal, but Marc Armbinder has copies of an authorization letter that the Obama campaign attempted to use to authorize poll observers, and a letter written by a Deputy Secretary of State informing the Obama campaign that the letter is legally insufficient.

It sounds like the Clinton campaign is over-reacting, calling it part of a "pattern" of disruptive actions and comparing the episode to the conduct of Republicans in 2004. Puh-leez.
