Election Monitors from Ireland called in.... - Dartz - 07-30-2018
Irish Times Link
Quote:The State is to send a team of election observers to monitor the US mid-term congressional elections in November, reversing its previous position that it did not focus on monitoring the conduct of democratic elections in the EU, the US or Canada.
In correspondence sent on Friday, the department said it had received a request from the OSCE to nominate long-term observers for the mid-term congressional elections in the US on November 6th.
Election monitoring missions played “an important role in the promotion of democracy and human rights”.
And in doing so, the US joins such luminaries as the following:
Armenia, Turkey, Albania, Mongolia, Kosovo, Kenya, Georgia, the Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia and Nepal

Oh, boy.
I hope somebody explains to the Balseraph-in-Chief exactly why this is necessary, and exactly what this means, and exactly who caused it to become necessary.

I honestly half expected something like that after the hanging chad fiasco in Florida years ago. With the way Cheeto conducted himself while campaigning let alone since winning I am neither surprised nor indignant about it now. All of my patriotic pride has been converted into shame well before this, by the sort of folks such observers are deployed to interfere with the shenanigans of.

Do any oddsmakers care to speculate on the probability that President Windrip will decree from the throne that election monitors from foreign countries must not be permitted in the US? "Only 'Real Americans' — who wear red MAGA caps — can make sure the wrong kind of people aren't allowed to vote."

Not for all the tea in Colorado.
