The head of the OAS observation mission to the U.S. election, former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla, told me in an interview that the outside scrutiny was requested by the U.S government on June 30.

The OAS has been monitoring elections in Latin America and the Caribbean for the past 50 years, most recently in Haiti, Guatemala, Colombia and Peru. Usually, governments request these missions to generate domestic and foreign confidence in the electoral process, and to help prevent post-electoral violence.

In this case, the OAS will deploy election observers in up to 15 U.S. states, including New York, California, Ohio, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Florida will not be included, because of a state law that prohibits such outside election missions, she said.

A US State Department retiree, who was an election observer for multiple foreign elections, flatly states he would never certify a US election.

Even 3rd world shitholes require voter ID and actively try to limit voting to citizens.

The US? We actively don't.

Good ol' Laura found herself a nice sinecure.

I'm not from the US... you do not have to provide ID to vote? And there is no list of eligible voters that you get checked against?
