U.N. to monitor U.S. Election!

From The Hill: "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 Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers from its human rights office around the country on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places. It's part of a broader observation mission that will send out an additional 80 to 90 members of parliament from nearly 30 countries. Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups, warned this month in a letter to Daan Everts, a senior official with OSCE, of “a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans — particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.” http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/263141-international-monitors-at-polling-places-draw-criticism-from-voter-fraud-group

Dan Riehl comments on the plan:  "Get these sorry-assed U.N. bastards out of the country. Send them home to try and fashion a form of democracy half as good as ours, before allowing them to sit in judgment on any thing. This is absolutely insane." http://riehlworldview.com/2012/10/damned-right-they-do-international-monitors-at-us-polling-places-draw-criticism.html

There are alot of people who claim this election will be hijacked through voter fraud and they appear to be serious about that claim. It's so removed from my area what about yours?
