"Monitors from the United Nations-affiliated group Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) will be monitoring the activities of conservative groups at polling places in the United States this November, The Hill reported Saturday.
Alexander Bolton wrote that the monitors will be "looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week.""
According to Bolton, 44 monitors from countries like Germany, France, Serbia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan will "monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places."
The move has conservatives alarmed, even though the OSCE has sent observers to monitor U.S. elections for years (http://www.politico.com/blogs/charlie-mahtesian/2012/10/intl-group-to-monitor-us-polling-sites-139070.html?hp=r5).
The reason conservative-leaning groups like True the Vote (http://www.examiner.com/topic/true-the-vote) are concerned is that liberal organizations like the NAACP (http://www.examiner.com/topic/naacp) and the ACLU claim that conservatives are engaged in "a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans — particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.”
“These activist groups sought assistance not from American sources, but from the United Nations,” True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht told The Hill. “The United Nations has no jurisdiction over American elections.”
