Return to “UN to Monitor Elections in Texas”
My roommate says he remembers (most of) the quote being, "the threat of legal action is unacceptable", which sounds to me like they're planning on doing their thing regardless of its legality.Dave2 wrote:Fox News reported on OSCE's reply earlier today. I forget their exact wording, but OSCE is not happy and not amused... IIRC, they essentially said "bring it on". TX had better not back down if this group tries anything illegal.

The Texas Election Code governs anyone who participates in Texas elections—including representatives of the OSCE. The OSCE’s representatives are not authorized by Texas law to enter a polling place. It may be a criminal offense for OSCE’s representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place’s entrance. Failure to comply with these requirements could subject the OSCE’s representatives to criminal prosecution for violating state law.
Sincerely,
Greg Abbott
Attorney General of Texas"
