IVM Warns Texas: Don't Mess With Us.

International Vote Monitors Warn Texas: Don't Mess With Us.

...heh, I have a feeling -- they have overseen elections in rougher places than Texas. (Thank God for them.) The global community is putting right wingers in Texas (and the rest of the US in their place).  About time! THANK YOU UN!!  I would love to see this group in every state that uses the electronic voting machines provided by the company that has a relationship with Romney's son.

Source: New York Times/reuters

International election monitors took a dim view on Wednesday of Texas' threat to prosecute them if they observe voting in the state a bit too closely on November 6th.
The exchange pitted the Vienna-based human rights watchdog Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe against Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who warned the OSCE not to interfere with polling in state elections.

"The threat of criminal sanctions against OSCE/ODIHR observers is unacceptable," Janez Lenarcic, director of the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) monitoring arm, said in a statement.

"The United States, like all countries in the OSCE, has an obligation to invite ODIHR observers to observe its elections."

Republicans are so dammned concerned about "illegal voters", you'd think they'd welcome these international observers who will "catch" the "fake citizens" instead of this ugly reaction.

Teabillies are getting their panties in a bunch already. What could they possibly be hiding? Texas got awfully defensive awfully fast on a mere suggestion that someone might be watching them. Makes you wonder what Texas has up its sleeves for Nov. 6, huh?!

Hey, Texas: If you're not doing anything wrong, then you don't have anything to worry about. Sound familiar???

They better have computer experts monitoring the computer voting machines along with people standing at the table observing the voters and the poll workers interaction. And they need 10,000 of them.

Actually, they need to concentrate on the machines that tag or whatever the f*ck his name is, owns.

Hey, Partner...These people don't believe or fall for that stupid, fake wild west tough guy Texan fantasy crap.

Screw Texas,.. it's red,.. anyway...
... this year, at least...

... but,.. this may be the very last year...

Every year,.. the Rep's base dwindles... and the Dem's base grows...
And this is the problem with, dig in your heels, conservatism...
The world goes forward,.. and the Rep's hold on to the past...
Economically,.. in the 80's,.. socially in the 50's,.. and militarily in the 20's...
Meanwhile,.. the middle age white male base shrinks...
... and the black,.. Hispanic,.., Jewish,... elderly,.. young,.. college educated,... atheist,.. Chinese, Japanese, Indian, European,... everything but middle aged white male...   grows...
... and time rolls on,... and the minority becomes the majority...

This will be the turning point,... the last election that Rep's have a snowballs chance... ... and they'll be going full out to get that one last chance,.. to soak the poor and middle class,.. and impose their Christian "idiology"... (I meant to do that)... Huh..

Then,.. the Rep's must radically reinvent themselves,... or be relegated to a second division political team...
Slavery is over,.. blacks don't ride in the back,.. women vote,.. people vote, corporations don't, 'cause they aren't people...
In 2016,.. Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and maybe Texas,.. go solid blue...

Maybe,.. this explains Rmoney's transformation...  the Rep's are cheering as he pivots his ideology to win... they hope he's lying to win...
... but,.. fool me once... shame on you...
... fool me twice,.. ahh?... whatever... don't get fooled again...

PS... anybody else notice,... Willard walks like he was just prison raped?...  I think his turnabouts are having their effect...
Huh...

Leave Texas alone. They just opened a private freeway with 85 MPH speed limit. $6 toll. Everything's bigger in Texas.

Texas’ Greg Abbott Threatens UN-Affiliated Poll Watchers

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott made it clear this week he does not want international elections observers anywhere near the polls in his state.

In a letter dated Tuesday to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Abbott threatened to prosecute any of its monitors who step within 100 feet of a Texas polling place on Election Day. The threat came even though U.S. State Department officials earlier this year had invited the monitors to observe the election.

The letter provoked a swift response on Wednesday from Janez Lenarcic, the head of the international group’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, who wrote a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressing his concern that the threat of prosecution was contrary to the U.S.’s obligations as an OSCE participant.

“The threat of criminal sanctions against OSCE/ODIHR observers is unacceptable,” Lenarcic said in a news release about the letter. “The United States, like all countries in the OSCE, has an obligation to invite ODIHR observers to observe its elections.”

Lenarcic added the observers were “required to remain strictly impartial” and they were in the United States “to observe these elections, not to interfere in them.” State Department officials have invited the monitors to observe the process in five elections since 2002.

The OSCE, which has a partnership agreement with the United Nations, had been pressed by a coalition of voting rights organizations to focus its monitoring efforts on states they believed were most likely to be impacted by voter restriction efforts.

...got something to hide there Texas??

I think elections should be done on paper, with each location using people from the community counting the votes, tallying them up, comparing them to exit polls & then, IF the exit polls & the vote tally match up, posting them, to be added to the other polling places totals.
I think its more important that the votes be tallied correctly than quickly.

Wow....

yall are some serious blue...

Its not new that UN watches our elections so TX is overboard with this... The difference ( as I understand it) this year is that the UN is here precisely at the urging of the NAACP, due to the success of states at requiring voter ID. So yeah, the DEMs want the UN here to monitor elections for thier own political gain.

As for the UN being in places worse that TX, doubtful. Gun owners in TX out number most countries armys. ( not that I see them all showing up armed).. But the point is, TX can take care of TX...

Huh...



This country was founded on Jewish/Christian morays and principals... Its served us well and created the most powerful nation on earth.  I can guarantee that moving away from those will lessen/weaken this nation.. and in turn the world.  You are right though... the time of the white male as long ended... thats not the question, the question is will the nation be better off without him?  

I certainly do not think so. I did not even "learn" of  the common ideas of "working the system", and ideas get while the getting is good. I know them now. They are NOT christian values. What made this country great is not our legal system.. its not laws... other countries have created as good or better. Yet time and again it is either indirectly offered assumed to be those things. The problem with your overtly socialist ideals... ( beside the fact they never work in history) is that it most always grow more totalitarian (sp). It cannot survive, without THAT growth. Already, day cares and parents whose children attendence are federally funded are being finger-printed.. and then must use that form of indentification to drop off or pick up a child.  And they are complaining about voter ID?????  
When the community casts off its responsibilty for being moral .. and relgates that to LAW.. then government has no choice but to decrease and remove any liberty in order regain continuity of order at a resonable cost.

Before you think I am sad to see the state of the republician party... you would be wrong. I cannot wait to see the end of that wretched basically evil monstrosity.  What is worse than a gun pointed at your face??? The one shoved in your back! Thus is the republician party. Do not be too gleeful at its demise.. for the democratic party will not survive long in its current form, nor is it free from sucking on the tits of Wall street.  

The all blue country you wish for... they exist the world over... are they better then the US? Are the people better off? Do they enjoy more freedoms? More liberty? No, they do not. No one is fighting to get in to Greece.. or Spain... or Libia.. or Cuba... yet this is idiotolgy you subscibe to!  Again, an "all blue" country must itself change and move forward.. and that will be socialism.. and from there to communism.  No you dont get to say.. "oh we will stop short of all that".. no you cant... the progression is all part of it. Hate to burst your bubble, but it just does not work that way.


By the way..
since when were "old white men" the only group to be Christian?  or republician?

In Mississippi most Blacks are christian AND democrat.. what does that do for your "old white men group"... and most christians that are white and over the age of 50 are women... not men (seems we die first) so your whole idea of this group of "old white men" being some definative group does not wash here. I guess the blues will kick out Blacks next. Wait... most latinoes are Catholic.. dern them.. dont they know... they need to give that up to fit your ideal!
