United Nations Seeks to Observe U.S. Elections

The United Nations through the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will send 44 long term observer teams to the United States to observe its elections.

OSCE has reached the following conclusions about U. S. elections:

Following an official invitation from the United States Mission to the OSCE, and based on the findings and conclusions of a Needs Assessment Mission (NAM), the OSCE/ODIHR has deployed a Limited Election Observation Mission (LEOM) for the 6 November 2012 general elections.

A Needs Assessment Mission is designed to

assess the electoral framework and political climate in the country and to provide a realistic assessment of the existing conditions for the conduct of the 2012 national elections including the legal, political, human rights, operational security and institutional environment and to assess
the capacity and needs of electoral management bodies and political parties to organize,
supervise and respectively contest elections.

The OSCE often monitors elections in places such as Georgia, meaning the war torn republic near the Black Sea, not the Peach State.  UN observers were also sent to Timor in Indonesia.

In other words, the UN and OSCE have decided that the United States cannot meet their criteria for running our own elections.

Some states have pushed back against international observance.  Texas attorney general Greg Abbott said 

Groups and individuals from outside the United States are not allowed to influence or interfere with the election process in Texas.  This State has robust election laws that were carefully crafted to protect the integrity of our election system. The Texas Election Code governs anyone who participates in Texas elections—including representatives of the OSCE.

Americans have long held strong suspicions of the United Nations.  Observance of elections will not change that.
