GOP, Dem congressmen condemned election-rigging in BELARUS; but what about in PENNSYLVANIA and other US states, where GOP poll watchers were kept away?

This past August, Republicans and Dems in Congress joined to condemn “rigged” elections in Belarus. Why are they not speaking up today about the US election, where GOP poll watchers were kept from seeing the ballots?

Here’s the House statement demanding election integrity —-- in Belarus:

McCaul, Engel Statement on Belarus Elections and Crackdowns

Press Release 08.10.20 Media Contact 202-225-5021 Washington, D.C. — Congressman Michael McCaul, Republican Leader on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Congressman Eliot Engel, Chairman of the Committee, today released the following statement about the Lukashenko regime’s violent crackdowns and voter suppression during the Belarussian presidential elections:

“We are deeply disturbed by the violent arrests and crackdowns on peaceful protestors, democratic activists, and journalists at the hands of Belarussian authorities, both in uniform and plain clothes. Instead of an election that was rigged from the start, the Belarussian people deserve to choose their own representation and to be free from fear and violence when exercising those fundamental rights.

WTH? Their poll watchers were MMA fighters and ours were PeeWee Herman look-alikes?

If the demonrats set out to exclude the republicans, why did the republicans not kick their butts?

If the US State Department were watching this same thing take place in some mideast country or Russian satellite state, they would be screaming bloody murder.

They are condemning Trump and wanting him to succeed. What more do you expect? These do nothing politicians need to be told: Get in the fight, or get the hell out of office!

Okay, but if the evil party used force, why didn’t the stupid party respond with force?

“ Being a dem means never having to defend against being a hypocrite.”

Unfortunately, I don’t see many Republicans in Congress calling out the US election irregularities either. They only seem concerned about elections in Belarus.

No country is going to take us seriously next time we try and lecture them about election fraud.
They will just laugh at us and go have some beer.

I dont get your point. There was fraud and the issue now is - will GOP lawmakers call it out?

An election in America is not a war. Or hasn't been a war until now. This is not Saddam's Iraq.
Oh wait, Saddam’s elections were more legit than the 2020 elections.

No, I’m asking why the republican poll watchers don’t beat the crap out of the demonrats right there at the polls, while they’re trying to commit fraud, and make them stop.

IMO, election fraud is sufficient reason to stomp the guilty dims into a puddle of evil goo. Why do the poll watchers do nothing?

Sounds like a great way to get arrested.

I was an elections monitor is Stovropal, where Gorbechov was from. It was still the Soviet Union and there was nothing to wright about in the report other than they gave away free food to those that would come and vote.

The Democrats have embarrassed us before GOD AND THE UNIVERSE with this election.

This IS THE HILL TO DIE ON.

The UN and EU “observers” didn’t see any irregularities 3 weeks ago, so there couldn’t have been any fraud anywhere...wink wink, nudge nudge.
