International monitors at US polling spots WHY? Because the ACLU and others want them there. (Congress, illegal)

[Miborn]

Is this the job of the UN? Who thinks this is an out of control moment? The UN has NO JURISDICTION over American elections.
Who is allowing this to happen? The ACLU, NAAACP and Liberal leaning civil rights groups sought them out.



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.

We monitor other nations polling. Why can't they monitor some of ours? Scared they'll find something sketchy?

You have to laugh at this paragraph from the link:

Civil rights groups have complained about what they say are subtle efforts of intimidation. They point to a billboard campaign in swing states such as Ohio warning voter fraud is a felony punishable by up to three and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

LOL......so warning people that voter fraud is illegal is suddenly "intimidation"?

The ONLY people who would be "intimidated" by that would be people who plan to commit voter fraud.

I wonder though are they hand picked by this administration?

Political grandstanding.
I thought there was no voter fraud???? At least that is the excuse when attempts are made to try and prevent it anyway.

Voter fraud is different than voter suppression or disenfranchisement.

So voter fraud is acceptable. Yet the left had no issue with black panthers trying to intimidate voters in 08. The old it was an isolated incident excuse was used. The Obama admin actually refused to press charges.
