United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers from its human rights office around the country on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places. It's part of a broader observation mission that will send out an additional 80 to 90 members of parliament from nearly 30 countries.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups, warned this month in a letter to Daan Everts, a senior official with OSCE, of a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.
The request for foreign monitoring of election sites drew a strong rebuke from Catherine Engelbrecht, founder and president of True the Vote, a conservative-leaning group seeking to crack down on election fraud.
These activist groups sought assistance not from American sources, but from the United Nations, she said in a statement to The Hill. The United Nations has no jurisdiction over American elections.

How about this disenfranchised group.......our fighting men and women in the armed forces who are on the battlefield and the criminal political machine in place preventing thier absentee ballots from making it home in time!
How about publishing photos of the 44 “monitors?”
It would be good if they are recognized while they are out and about
So voter suppression activities by other groups is ok?
This eurotrash needs to be rejected with extreme prejudice.
Maybe it’s a sign that we are already working under a one world government...
How about this disenfranchised group.......our fighting men and women in the armed forces...
Get them the eff out. Introduction to surrender of national sovereignty.
Begone Satans.
Then the local Tea Party should assign a team of ten or so volunteers to observe the observers round the clock.
I gave him the hard stare. He stared back ~ even harder. You could see he was a third-world thug who had no business in this country, to say nothing of being inside the voting facility.
This time when they put another one of these pukes in my polling place I am filing an instant complaint with the cops to come and take him away ~ that he's bothering me and so are the Democrat goons that brought him there.
Maybe I could swing a fist or something to show I'm defending myself against these alien pigs and their running dog lackeys.
when did any of our 57 states become part of Europe?
yet this group will not mention a single word about what the new black panther party will do.
Or just stand out front with a few of your homies with some batons, trying to give the impression you are blocking the entrance. The DOJ thinks that is fine behavior, nothing to worry about.
