UN doesn't trust America - will send in people to monitor the elections

[GMantis]

Am I the only who finds it hilarious that a group fighting voting fraud is against election monitoring?

Oh no. Not at all.

[Hatman 🍁]

hahaha. Well needed of course. America is a flawed democracy, after all. Very ironic, if you think about it.

[Silent Hunter]

I have no problem with OSCE monitoring any election it wishes to.

Its their job to correct any election that has been corrupted, its suprising they hadn't done this before, all things considered.

We're going to have people from nations who don't have elections to be making sure our elections work correctly. Right...

All of those nations hold elections except Belarus, and all except the last 3 are liberal democracies.

I thought Belarus technically had elections, too.

Yes.   That is why the Belarussian monitors will see that the same party didn't win every precinct and think it means something's wrong.

Considering that the US was the first of the modern day republics, why am I not surprised to see Democrats cheering other nations telling the US what to do? GTFO, UN.

You're (unsurprisingly) using faulty logic there.

Good news. The more eyes on this thing, the better.

We are a soveriegn nation, it's no one elses business, especially a group that obviously sides with the Dems.  Personally I don't care who they are no one should be involved in our elections but us, even if means keeping the dems from cheating.  If we can't do that ourselves that's our problem.

Which party was SAC working for, again?

And would you have used the same reasoning about election monitors in, say, Venezuela?

Exactly so. Well said.

What about you, Mr. Kenobi? Would you have sent election monitors to Venezuela?

[Franzl]

I really don't understand why anyone could be against more people paying attention to the election process? This can only be a bad thing if you believe they'll find something and want to hide it.

In reality, of course, it's just your typical American right-wing hypocrisy bulls**t.

[LiberalJunkie]

Only in America people would be against this...

And you're basing that assumption on... what, exactly ?

I trust you haven't, by any chance, heard about the Dutch united provinces ?

If you wanna play this game :

But I think the point was in "modern", as in, you know, post Middle Age in its date of establishment.

Even if you're only considering Republics that survive today, there's Switzerland, as well as the Commonwealth of England.

The Dutch and English today are both constitutional monarchies, not republics. Iceland wasn't declared an independent republic until 1944.

So, yes, the US remains the oldest existing republic.

Sure, but only since Westphalia. I'll concede that you are indeed correct they were the first and the Americans are the second.

Since when is the UN opposed to voter fraud?
