International Election Observers (Bah)

Clark Smith posts a small rant over at Calblog regarding the administration's misguided invite to "international election observers" (i.e. Jimmy Carter's usual collection of anti-American socialists). While I agree that US elections need no help from countries that have dictators within living memory, I do have a few places they could visit as long as they're here:

  • South Dakota, especially the reservations that delivered so many after-the-polls-closed votes for the Democrats in 2002.
  • St Louis, where polls in African-American precincts were ordered to stay open hours late, upon a suit from a dead man, no wait, by someone who'd already voted, no wait... But it must have worked as several precincts had everyone vote, all the same way.
  • Chicago, of course
  • Network newsrooms, such as CBS, which called Florida 1) wrong, and 2) while the Republican part of the state was still voting.
But I'm sure that they'll all head to South Florida, to make sure all ballots against the hated Bush are counted, and then some.

Please, PLEASE send one to my polling place in Dallas, Texas. I would be honored to drag the sumbitch out of the polling place by his collar, stomp a mudhole in him, and walk it dry.

Milwaukee would be another good place to observe, but they would need to arrive early, in case the people in town from the national DNC are openly buying votes again. I'm not exactly sure how they will deal with college students going from polling place to polling place.
