Reply #7: The standards actually rest with OSCE - link here

[harmonyguy]

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, of which the US is a participating state, and to which the US has made certain committments, is the organization which provides election monitoring in the US and elsewhere.

This link is to a report entitled
Existing Commitments for Democratic Elections in OSCE Participating States, a Progress Report
http://www.osce.org/documents/odihr/2003/10/772_en.pdf

Read the report and then underline all the committments that have not been met.

There's a lot of progress yet to be made by the world's 'greatest' democracy.
