The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

The Trump administration declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms, blocking monitors from the regional security group for the first time in more than two decades.

Their absence comes as Democrats and election integrity experts have raised concerns about potential election meddling after the Department of Justice announced plans to send its own monitors.

Washington joins only Russia and Belarus in its decision to exclude OSCE observers.

The OSCE called the U.S. decision “regrettable” and Human Rights Watch said the move “fuels fears of serious human rights concerns around the upcoming elections.”

    They are going to lose big even with their cheating, they are so far underwater here, they will lose the house, probably the senate.

    Their approval rating is hovering around the ebola virus, right behind covid.

      The problem is that there isn’t way to enforce the vote anymore. Every institution and agency was allowed to be captured.

      Todd Blanche, Tom Homan, and Kash Patel are not going to team up with SCOTUS and bring down Trump or MAGA. The military has been purged and is flying Nazi eagles and just gave the sieg heiling south African immigrant that stole all of our data keys to all of our top secret drone warfare platforms.

      The other tech bros are part of this same program, and have been rolled into the military as their own unit, complete with their own ranks.

      Once people have that level of clearance and information, the damage is done. The country we knew is dead and dark times are ahead. And it gets darker by the day with everyone playing “election”
