💭 Can you think of an ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy? Here's one: An international election watchdog group that has observed every federal election for two decades won't be doing so for this year's midterms. All because the Trump administration didn't invite them.

This sounds like they are planning to announce the election had significant voter fraud (to support whatever their plan is to steal the election), and they don’t want independent election monitors to contradict them.

Could the states invite them? Of course only blue states would do so but still it could be helpful when the false allegations come from His Orangeness.

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question... can anyone else invite them in? If elections are actually (by law) authorized and taking place at the State level, can state Governors invite them?

I think American's need no more evidence to understand that their democracy is in crisis. Do something! Is the cry from the rest of the world.
