Happily, Texas does not give a damn how foreign monitors feel about it.

Someone should publish where they are staying when in my state.

From the article:

“The U.S. states that prohibit international election observation are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.

(Four years ago, the Texas’ Attorney-General warned the OSCE that any observer who approaches a polling station in the state could be prosecuted.)

Another eight states have laws that explicitly allow foreign observers to be present at polling stations on election day – California, Colorado, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Washington.”

I’d think that, on the whole, the more people watching the better. If someone from Italy says that Philly or Chicago is corrupt, it may carry more weight with non-Republicans than if a Republican says it.

EU: I’m thinking of a four letter acronym that starts with F, has two vowels in the middle, and ends with D....

thirteen states explicitly forbid it which is not in line with the requirements of paragraph 8 of the 1990 OSCE Copenhagen Document.”

Then just SHOW UP and Take your Chances on Getting Arrested and thrown in PRISON for a Few Years, as well as 100% Civil Asset Forfeiture.

POS Eurotrash islam death worshippers.

It’s offensive to have foreign observers, but last time didn’t the foreign observers ask where the picture IDs and the purple ink were?

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

I’m in the minority here. My view is that sunlight is the best disinfectant. The more observers, the more likely we can mute potential corruption. As long as foreign observers take no action to influence or interrupt the electoral process, let ‘em watch.

However, it is up to the states to make this determination. Unless we sign and the Senate ratifies a treaty, which is legally binding, the states have no obligation to permit foreign observers. These observers are here due to an executive agreement, which has no force of law outside the federal executive branch.

We are a Constitutional representative republic, not a crappy offshoot of the UN. OSCE can pound sand.

OSCE should be happy we don’t shoot them for trespassing.
