International election observers planning to visit Texas polling places have “full immunity” from being arrested in the United States, the State Department said when discussing a letter from the Texas Attorney General.
“I’m not going to get into any kind of hypothetical situations or predict where this is going to go other than to say we have every expectation that this will be worked out and to state the fact, which is that under U.S. law they are eligible for immunities,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Reporters tried to get her to state explicitly that Texas could not arrest election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), but Nuland would only reiterate that OSCE observers have full immunity.
Attorney General Greg Abbott, R-Texas, warned OSCE that it “may be a criminal offense for OSCE’s representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place’s entrance,” as The Hill noted.

Overheard on 9 May 1940:

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland was probably hired by Hillary Clinton. I wonder if she has a 'partner' like Hillary's Huma, if you know what I mean...
As was accomplished in the Kenya election by Khofi Anan. This resulted in Kenyas’s elected government having to share power with a sub strata of unconstitutional,illegally installed Islamofascists lead by Odinga/Obama’s Orange party.
This is how coups are organized these days by fascists. Texas is quite right to want nothing to do with them. Many of the places these observers will be present are in swing states.
And where is the Republican-controlled Congress while all this is underway?
That’s Sumter, not Sumpter.
Not very much of a difference. Like I said, GW Bush was incredibly naive & stupid as a president, and has initiated or laid the groundwork for every one of 0bama’s travesties, begun under GW Bush. Bush has no problem or issue with any big gubmint, socialist or new world order concept, and in fact is an eager proponent of these travesties. Thank you GW Bush for giving us 0bama and the groundwork for all of his failed policies.
Guess who ran Project Vote in Chicago in 1992?

But aren't the observers there precisely because of hypothetical voting irregularities i.e. suppression of Marxist Democrats?
I am not argueing Bush the second was a waste. I agreee. However, the differnece on this issue is absolute. Bush said come and learn. Zero is saying come and catch the cheaters in the conservative movement because the USA cannot have free and honest elections. Very big difference.
Feds, First, you make it impossible for us to prevent illegal citezens from voting and then you bring in dictators to make sure we’re following the rules. You’ve got to be kidding!!!
The international observers will be asked and expected to follow all the laws relevant to the voting booth...no more and no less. If you are offended that they aren’t granted some sort of ‘courtesy’ in the name of being polite, too g-d damn bad.
We’ve been offended by you for years..calling us racist, refusing to follow your own immigration laws, suing states burdened by expenses caused by unchecked immigration, allowing non-cotezens the right to vote. I’m so g-d damn mad. Go ‘F’ yourself and take your international observer with you.
OK, I understand your point, and that we both agree GW Bush was a complete waste. However in this case, once again, it reveals the incredibly stupid & naive mindset of GW Bush, to bring in international observers to observe OUR elections, and failing to realize the consequences of that decision. Which is that globalism & socialism & new world order ideology will ALWAYS go to the absolute extreme of tyranny & totalitarianism. Personally I don’t think that GW Bush has a problem with any of this, and for the most part supports 0bama & his policies right down the communist, new world order line.
Good points. I agree. I also knew, when he did not replace the Clitonites, where he stood. But as far I know Bush is not on any ballot anywhere in the USA this election. This election is about stopping the final phase of the fascist take-over of our country.
Sure they can be arrested!
maybe after 24 hours or so in detention, perhaps the State Dept. can request them to be released.
“What enforcement authority does the State Department have?”
They can cut off the highway money? (NOOOO! NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!! I APOLOGIZE!!!! WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!/s;)
Now extend those wrists forward for an on-the-cuff remark.
LOL! It's not tipping your hand, it's a Notice of Intent.
One of those pesky legal things that needs to be done in order to make sure all your cute little duckies are in a row. :-)
Ain’t that the truth!
It is quite likely that in many states, if these observers become “known”, simple citizens who object to their presence will engage them in “conversation” which may escalate into some type of noisy “conflict”. Those observers and the citizens will have to be hauled into town to get “statements” about the altercation, and “disturbing the peace”. Done properly, this procedure will take several hours. Three or so citizens ought to be sufficient to occupy an “observer” for the full day. Citizen may suffer a 25 dollar fine. Observer cost thousands of dollars for zero accomplishment. Rinse, repeat.
Please try to verify this and then post a main article at FR under the “activism” header, whether verified or not.
Texas ain't buyin' it!

His biggest problem is a LOT of people are starting to see right through the #bullshitter-in-chief.
And the MSM can no longer protect him because we bypass them through the social media!
I can’t wait for film of these foreign turds trying to interfere with a local election. Worth a loss of 5,000,000 Obama votes.
Amen to that! Stopping 0dumb0, the fascist communist muzzlim pig is first & foremost the goal for this election!
