The UN is Coming - It's Over........

Is this really true? United Nations to monitor U.S. polling places on Election Day..............

I haven't read it reported yet in any main stream media outlets so maybe it's not true.

There is always 2 sides to a story.

Pretty sad when we need the UN for our internal affairs.

The voter suppression issue is pure BS! If you are a citizen of the US it takes all of an hour to go get a color ID.

If voting in an election is that important to people maybe they should think about it prior to a month before. Bring the UN on I am a resident of the US registered to vote in my district with a photo ID. There is zero reason why every citizen should not be able to provide the same credentials

The request for voting day monitoring came from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups.

Yes, you're reading it correctly. Frankly, if someone doesn't have the time to go through the process of getting proper identification, then I don't want them voting.

If someone is *too stupid* to figure out how to get proper identification so that they can vote, then I definitely don't want them voting.

2X!!!

I would chastise my brothers when they would say they didn't "feel" like voting.
My reply? "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain if you don't like who wins or what bills gat passed because you GAVE up that right to complain. Now they pay a little more attention to the who and what of the elections!

When the UN get's involved with our internal affairs it's
the beginning of the end
IMHO, another step towards a world government.

You guys are hilarious.

This isn't even the UN the group is the OSCE and has monitored US elections for the past decade. We do the same thing to other nations that have signed on.
