We need to see if the U.N. monitors are booked for November.
I always remember an interview with Jimmy Carter that I heard on NPR after the 2000 election debacle. He said that the US doesn’t meet the minimum standards that The Carter Center requires before they’ll agree to observe an election. The fact that in most states the Secretary of State is a partisan position is enough to disqualify us.
It’s pretty pitiful when you think about it.
You beat me to it, tiowally. But, like I mention down thread, even if the US were to allow it, we don’t meet The Carter Center’s minimum standards.
Yeah, where did they dig up such an ignorant asshole?
I think it might have actually been 2016.
In Arkansas the saying “a turd in a punchbowl” has been reversed to “punch in a turdbowl”.
The Arkansas Democratic Party filed a complaint Thursday afternoon with the state Board of Election Commissioners over the ballot mistake and the sites’ temporary closure.
Haley said the problem occurred when officials had to re-enter every candidate’s name after some of the contests weren’t printing correctly. Haley said Thurston’s name had also been misspelled on the now-corrected ballots. Haley said the county’s absentee ballots included Inman’s name.
I’m surprised their explanation of the “mistake” is more credible than the Saudi’s re: Jamal Khashoggi’s death. Somebody in AR is not a complete idiot. <//snark>
Silly little Repubs - trying to keep her name out of it . Naughty .
and needless to say the SOS runs elections.
More GOP-led voter fraud?
Get to the polls as soon as you can. This crap will not cease until we return government to ALL the people!
VOTE!
The purported wave will break on the reef known as voter suppression. While Democrats wasted 18 months bellyaching about Russia the Republican’ts were busy making sure Democrats can’t vote. Yet another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by my inept, corporate-controlled Party!
(But hey, at least the DC Consultancy Beasts are making shit tons of money and laughing all the way to their Wall Street banks…)
