For those of you who think this country isn't being reduced to a third world bananna republic with Obama at the helm.............
“The OSCE’s representatives are not authorized by Texas law to enter a polling place,” Abbott wrote. ‘It may be a criminal offense for OSCE’s representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place’s entrance. Failure to comply with these requirements could subject the OSCE’s representatives to criminal prosecution for violating state law.”
Lenarcic’s letter to Clinton is the latest development in a simmering controversy over an OSCE/ODIHR mission that aims to assess the November 6 vote “for compliance with international obligations and standards for democratic elections.”
As reported earlier, the mission includes observers from several non-democratic countries that are members of the OSCE, including Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. More than a quarter – 12 of a total 44 observers – come from countries assessed by Freedom House as either “not free” or “partly free.”
The plans have triggered some protests on the campaign trail.
“Every American should be outraged by this news,” Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.), who is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate, declared on Monday.
International monitoring of elections is “usually reserved for third-world countries, banana republics and fledgling democracies,” he said. “The only ones who should ever oversee American elections are Americans.”
Well maybe the new black panther party thius will show up with their billy clubs. The usag doesn't see a problem with that. So what would the UN do in lieu of the USAG's tolerance?
Imagine the UN protesting eric holder, the lap dog extroidinaire.
To call the UN in is a travesty and the names of those dems who asked for their help should be held as as traitors.

Well the ones who would be holding them for being traitors are traitors too so that won't work.
Funny I didn't see Greg Abbott or Connie Mack up in arms when they've been here before. In fact UN observers have "monitored" U.S. elections since 2000.
But then again, there's still time till they roll out their "War on Christmas" annual drive, so they've got to find something to fill the time.
I suspect the observers will attempt to observe in the inner cities and low income 'burbs where, well, you know... those kind of preferences may exist.

I think elections in Mexico are cleaner and more honest than in Texas!
What do you even know about TX or how to find it on the map ?
States have laws like TX and Iowa that should be observed and respected.
