<snip>“The threat of criminal sanctions against [international] observers is unacceptable,” Janez Lenarčič, the Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), said in a statement. “The United States, like all countries in the OSCE, has an obligation to invite ODIHR observers to observe its elections.”</snip>

I read somewhere that this group isn't even officially associated with the UN.  It's just a group of countries that got together to make themselves seem important.

It looks like I'll be acting as a precinct judge down here in S TX & I would be thrilled to have these turd rollers show up.  The sheriff would have a nice bologna sammich lunch for them.  Oh, and bologna sammiches for supper & breakfast too.
