I see it as hostile intervention from foreign powers because
that's really all it is.

(a) To be eligible to serve as a watcher, a person must be a qualified voter:
(1) of the county in which the person is to serve, in an election ordered by the governor or a county authority or in a primary election;
(2) of the part of the county in which the election is held, in an election ordered by the governor or a county authority that does not cover the entire county of the person's residence; and
(3) of the political subdivision, in an election ordered by an authority of a political subdivision other than a county.
(b) The Alcoholic Beverage Code supersedes this section to the extent of any conflict.

I don't see the issue here? I read the article and I fail to see the problem? Why are Texan officials so scared of the international observers? If the Texan election process is secure, and if it promotes equal voting rights for all citizens, why the aggression against the observers?
Texas could set an example to others of how the election process is suppose to work, so I fail to see what they have to hide by these observers coming in.

Youre wrong.. Why do people always assume that because our Govt does something that its the people thats doing it?
Where are you from? Do you have any control over your Nations foreign policy? Didnt think so.
And Texas is following its state laws.
I hope they do come and the AG follows through and arrests them.
Screw the UN

Can you even read? I said just the opposite. I dont care why people make assumptions, if your so naive to think that ordinary citizens control the US foreign policy then this is my last post to you.
Youre not worth arguing with

I don't get all this "If you have nothing to hide..." stuff.
If you got pulled over for speeding and the cop said, "you mind if I take a look in your car" would you say yes? I mean, you have nothing to hide, right?
We have nothing to hide. We just don't want them here. They have no right by law to be here. So we want them to go away.

You keep repeating that the "precedent" is the issue. That precedent was set back in 2002.

OSCE is not the UN.
They are a European nanny commision but not the UN.
It is funny that the left wants someone to monitor the right but still demands that nobody actually be reqiured to have ID. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
ID everybody and stop voter fraud? NO.
Cry to Europe because the right wants fair elections? OK sure.
