Ah, yes. The United States' descent into a Banana Republic is complete: The European Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) will monitor the U. S. presidential election.

When this issue was raised in the House of Representatives, Republicans only agreed to the inspections only after amending a foreign aid bill with stipulations that U.S. federal funds not be used to support the United Nations monitoring elections in the United States. Because, you know, U.S. taxpayer funds shouldn't be wasted on things like fair and democratic elections.
