International monitors to watch US elections

International monitors at US polling places draw criticism

United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.

#11  I am fairly confident that we will never see a concession speech by Champ.

#6  And if the Champs comes up a few electoral votes short, will he seek redress and legal sactions from the United Nations ? Will the CBC go on strike ? Will Queen Moochelle and the Champ go into exile in the Iolani Palace, set up a secessionist regime, and establish a proper Obamamanian monarchy ?

#5  I suppose they will be co-ordinating their activites with the New Black Panther Party - just to make sure they don't appear at the same polling place at the same time.

#4  for voter suppression activities by conservative groups,

Tar and feathers needed. Do they consider the NBPP conservative? Bet not.

Anyone approached by any of these foreigners should scream bloody murder and get them removed post haste.

#1  We often make fun of tranzis (or Muziies) because they're so ineffectual. But we shouldn't forget their great strength: they just keep trying---slowly eroding our resolve and establishing new norms.
