General Elections, 6 November 2012

Following an invitation from the United States Mission to the OSCE to observe the 6 November 2012 general elections and in accordance with its mandate, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) undertook a Needs Assessment Mission (NAM) from 23 to 27 April.

The OSCE/ODIHR NAM recommends the deployment of a Limited Election Observation Mission (LEOM) to observe the general elections.

Considering the ongoing widespread GOP sponsored voter suppression/imminent intimidation and the latest news about their Presidential condidate's (<--- typo I'm going to leave alone) links to election fraudsters, surely OSCE/ODIHR NAM need to upgrade their Election Observation Mission to "Full Scale"?

Not much time to do it, and I know it's probably wishful thinking, but still...

Surely the Election Observation Mission they do have in place should be making some noise, however "limited" they may be...?? Otherwise, what's the point of them even being in the US?

The NeoCONs waged illegal wars on other nations to supposedly "install democracy", and yet at home they wage a war on democracy itself. And seemingly get away with it without nary a peep from their political opponents or the FBI.

If they get away with it yet again, how can they expect anyone to ever take America's democracy (or the OSCE/ODIHR) seriously?
