Texas Denies Russian Consulate Request to Observe Voting

[RandySF]

The state of Texas has denied a request to have Russian officials be present at polling stations during the Nov. 8 general election, according to a letter obtained by NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

The Texas secretary of state's office said it received a letter from Russia's consulate general in Houston seeking to have one of its officers present at a voting precinct to study the "US experience in organization of voting process."

Texas Secretary of State Carlos Cascos said no, adding that "only persons authorized by law may be inside of a polling location during voting. All other persons are not authorized and would be committing a class C Misdemeanor crime by entering."
Similar requests from Alexander Zakharov, Russia's consul general in Houston, were sent to officials in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

3. I guess it is just a coincidence that the Russians are asking permission to do

what Trump has been preaching for the past 2 weeks.

I hereby ask the Israelis to hack the Russian computers to show us the email communications between Trump and Putin.

4. Global Bureaucrats Invited By Obama To Inspect US Elections.

'Hundreds of foreigners are expected to enter America within the next month in order to observe the American electoral process.

The United States sends representatives to other nations with dubious democratic processes to survey the voting systems and look for fraudulent practices. But now it seems that America is the one being inspected and scrutinized.

With the help of President Barack Obama, the Organization of American States (OAS) will send roughly 30 to 40 spectators to polling locations across the country for the first time ever, according to The Washington Post. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been consigning a small contingent of bystanders to U.S. elections since 2002, but this time it plans to send extra reinforcements.'>>>

5. Considering the Voting Rights Act has been gutted and the GOP ratfucking in every state,

And Trump's invitation to intimidate.
Maybe we do need foreign observers
