International Observers Report Election was Honest


International Election Experts invited by Trump's Administration to Observe the U.S. Election last week issued a Preliminary Report that found No Evidence of the Widespread Fraud alleged by Trump.

The State Department invited a 28-Member Delegation from the Organization of American States (OAS), which has Reported on Elections around the World, to Observe the Voting in the U.S. on Nov. 3rd, 2020.

Members of the OAS Team were sent to Battleground States, such as Georgia and Michigan, where the Trump Campaign has filed Lawsuits alleging Voter Fraud, and Noted in the Report that it had “not directly observed any serious irregularities that call into question the results so far.”

“On Election Day, the members of the Mission were present at polling places in Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan and the District of Columbia, and observed the process from the opening of the polling centers through to the close of polls and the deposit of voting materials with the appropriate local authorities,” the Report states. “Members of the Mission also visited tabulations centers to observe the tallying of result. In the jurisdictions that it observed, the Mission found that the day progressed in a peaceful manner.”

The Report did find “clear examples of intimidation of electoral officials” by Trump Supporters in: Arizona; Michigan; and Pennsylvania who Unsuccessfully sought to Halt the Counting of Votes.

The Report also took aim at Trump himself for Statements Questioning the Legitimacy of the Vote, claiming that Democrats were trying to “steal” the Election.

“In his statement the Republican candidate cast further aspersions on the US electoral process, stating that ‘This is a case where they’re trying to steal an election. They’re trying to rig an election and we can’t let that happen.’ The OAS observers deployed in the battleground states of Michigan and Georgia did not witness any of the aforementioned irregularities,” the Report states.

While the Report Noted that it Supported the Right for Trump to “seek redress” in the Courts for Questionable Election Practices, it Warned against Promoting “unsubstantiated or harmful speculation.”

“While the OAS Mission has not directly observed any serious irregularities that call into question the results so far, it supports the right of all contesting parties in an election, to seek redress before the competent legal authorities when they believe they have been wronged,” the Report stated. “It is critical, however, that candidates act responsibly by presenting and arguing legitimate claims before the courts, not unsubstantiated or harmful speculation in the public media.”
