Two facts: Bush is leading polls; most people outside the US don't like Bush. Once these people are tired of complaining ()and wining, they realized that their opinion is irrelevant in affecting the results of these elections, so they try to do something: they try to influence results or they try to invalidate these elections. The first try has been made by leftists like thos of "The Guardian," who under the "Operation Clark County" tried to persuade voter of this Ohio county to vote against Bush, that is, for Kerry. Result: a wave of voters' complaints and volunteers for Bush. The second try is the project Fair Election International run by an NGO called "Global Exchange." These "observers" are congresspeople, journalists, attorneys of several nations, who criticize US electoral authorities for being "partisan." Allegedly, these foreign observers are not. Wrong. They are a private organization with they own agenda. Under this logic there is no difference between elections in the US and countries that are transiting to democracy, such as El Salvador several years ago. Moreover, some media claim that the "Third World Monitors US Elections". And, of course, the leftist Guardian supports such supervision.
We see it coming: if Kerry does not win, they are ready to declare US elections a fraud, that is, we will have the second part of Michael Moore's movie plot.
