https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/13/osce-election-monitors-us-integrity-novemberAn international election-monitoring body has raised concerns about the US vote in November, saying the integrity of election day proceedings could be under threat and recommended again sending observers to monitor the election.
The democracy and human rights arm of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has issued an assessment of election conditions in the run-up to presidential and congressional elections on 3 November.
It recommended member states send 100 long-term and 400 short-term observers to monitor the poll which it said will be the most challenging in recent decades.
A week-long needs assessment mission by the OSCEs Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) beginning on 29 May found there was widespread concern that election officials will face serious challenges prior to and on election day, due to new measures in response to Covid-19 pandemic, and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them.

I don't think we even know YET of all the things that JA has done to our Country! I believe Joe will win the Presidency, but I feel so sorry for him & Kamala for the gigantic job they will have! It's going to take at least 2 terms to manage to get back to some degree of normalcy.

there are really no repercussions ... and later forgotten for the most part. We are witnessing the systematic destruction of America. The system was not designed to handle such outrageous activities as we have today.
