I live in the DFW area, voted already...
Why on earth would the UN need to send these monitors here? Do they think conservatives are uncivilized? Or is this just intimidation tactic on THEIR part....
I don’t believe in all of this global community bull$hit.
I believe in the “Leave me the HELL alone” credo.
Unless they are here for a nice vacay and plan to inject some money into our local economies, they need to GTFO.
To: Repeat Offender
Yup, that was my point. If our election procedures were as restrictive as some third-world countries, a lot of people wouldn't be able to vote.
I won't be home on election day, either. I've been out of town on business every week for the past couple of months, and it will continue at least until Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, my state has early voting, and the polls are open this Saturday and Sunday. That's on my to-do list when I get home this weekend.

Even if they came in droves there are 8,461 voting precincts in Texas so they'll not visit many.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot sent a letter Tuesdsay warning United Nations-affiliated poll watchers that they do not have jurisdiction in the state and will, therefore, be criminally prosecuted if they attempt to interfere at Texas polling locations on Nov. 6. Who ever gave the UN the idea that they had any power in the US to begin with? Did that wench Hillary sell us out again?

I wonder how many of the poll watchers will try to defect.
We will be footing the bill for their existance for the rest of their lives- food, shelter, medical, education, Obama phones, etc.,...
To: TigersEye
Maybe they should be deployed in the voting districts around the Atchafalaya Swamp.
hehehe

Send those boys to the hills of Tennessee and West Virginia. Or Idaho. Maybe somewhere around Dead Horse Point’s voting station. Or an Indian Res.

“But they cant hang around? Right?”
Nope. Not if they are representing the United Nations. Do note, that they *can* be appointed by a political party, a candidate, or an interest group supporting/opposing a ballot initiative. Look at Post 8 on this thread to see what an individual needs to do to be a poll watcher.
Key thing is that in this case they are appointed by an interested party in the election, which is why poll watchers are permitted. But you cannot claim to be a member of the Fourth of July Party or My Own Company Party to hang around a polling place.
To: Logical me
“In compliance with the code, U.N. poll watchers will be barred from entering polling places and must keep a distance of a minimum of 100 feet from a polling places entrance.”
Looks like that’s covered!
