he has done nothing to challenge big business like the insurance industry or go after companies that are polluting our environment...
he is a trog...
So staying on topic!

The states run elections.

You being a liberal partisan and all your counterparts always say no voter fraud is every perpetrated so why would we need and international force in Texas to watch nothing?

The reason a lot of Texas Democrats joined the GOP has nothing to do with integrity. Both the GOP and the Democrats are filthy corrupt and the word integrity belongs with neither. It had to do with the desire to keep their own jobs because Texas went red since the 60s.

Democrats and Republicans alike can cover their ears and pretend only the other side is crooked, but they would just be feeding their own ignorance.

Under the US Constitution the states set how elections will occur. State law specifies who may be at the polling place and what they may do. The Attorney General enforces the Law in the state and is fully within his rights to issue an opinion on this.

Second is the issue of Sovereign rights. Anyone who is a foreign national in the US is present at the pleasure of the Federal and State governments. There is no reason for a Foreign National to be at any US Polling place.

Third, the presence of "UN Observers" is a joke because countries that stone women to death are on the UN Human Rights council. The UN has zero Moral credibility on this.

The greatest threat to voting integrity right now are the people who engage in vote fraud.

At home here in TX Harris County had a major scandal two years ago.

Just this week a US Congressman's son was caught detailing how to commit vote fraud by forging utility records.

It is now clear that the election of Al Franken was stolen due to vote fraud.

Was Al Franken elected by 1000 felons?

And in FL there are up to 250K dead or foreign people on the voter rolls.

And LBJ was shown to have stolen his election and used fraud to deliver TX for Kennedy.

Vote fraud is a mainly Democrat thing in the state.

There is a reason a lot of former Democrats are now GOP in the state of TX and it has to do with stuff like this.
Amen!

The UN is a joke, their an outdated "Cold War" Relic that is plagued with their own corruption and has no business on US soil...especially here in Texas!

Texas does a lot to thwart free and open elections.

Starts with ballot access and crooked districts.

Both it is both (same) party(ies).

I can't help but wonder what they're afraid of. Maybe there IS voter fraud...sanctioned by state?

Say what you want about the UN, but but I don't believe for a minute there has never been voter fraud in Texas or that Texans are as perfect as they like to think.

Nobody says Texas is perfect, but it's the closest thing to heaven when living on this Earth.......

Of course, there's been voter fraud in Texas! Haven't you ever heard of Duval County? (Of course, there's also Chicago.

And Texans don't think Texas, or they, are "perfect". We do love our state, and I, for one, am puzzled by people who DON'T love where they come from or where they chose to live.

You know, this is a very good point. (Neither liberal nor conservative in the way that those terms have come to be used.)
