(CNSNews.com) – As it prepares to observe the November 8 elections, an Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mission already in the U.S. drew attention on Wednesday to the fact that 13 states explicitly forbid international election observation.

That prohibition, it said, ran contrary to the “requirements” set down in a 1990 document drawn up by the OSCE’s precursor, the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe.

“Election observer access is determined by the state or county,” the mission said in an interim report. “Eight states explicitly allow for international election observation while thirteen states explicitly forbid it which is not in line with the requirements of paragraph 8 of the 1990 OSCE Copenhagen Document.”

No way. Foreigners have ZERO business standing over our elections. And you are delusional if you think the types who get sent here will declare fraud in a democrat area.
The actual result will be to work to delegitimize a Trump victory and to ensure illegals get to vote.

I cant believe you are that naïve.

Ok, then elections. What other government functions do you think foreign leaders should come monitor here in the USA?

Idiotic.

Well, not too many years ago UN observers were busy marveling over how a system that does not verify voter identity could possibly be honest.

Let um complain about that. Let the rats then defend their policy positions on voter ID.

Why did the Declaration of Independence refer to a Candid World?

I’d suggest that half of the delegates be put at the disposal of one candidate, and half at the disposal of the others.

Monitoring this aspect of government is more important than any other, as the rest of government flows from this.

As the majority of the country does think that U.S. elections are somewhat corrupt, it seems that a better solution is needed. Do you have one?
