I think this all sucks too and should not be allowed.
In fairness, however, I would like to point out that the people are identified as being “based” in the cities identified, not that those are the places they will monitor.
My guess is that these U.N. A@@holes are “based” in state capitals but actually operate, in most cases, in the large centers of population. You know like Sh__cago where voter fraud NEVER occurs. /s
Of course, and well-observed.
