The Observers Wash Ashore
The United States on Tuesday suggested that it does not care what the international observers talk about the upcoming US presidential election by saying that the observers can come to whatever conclusions they want to.

"People can come, and as long as they observe the proper procedures for visiting the United States, which we all know about, come and look and observe and come to whatever conclusions or judgments they want to come to. It is an open society," State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said at a news briefing on Tuesday.

Ereli said the State Department has played a "purely facilitative" role in arranging the observers of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to come to the United States to observe the Nov. 2 election.

As a member of the OSCE, the US State Department is required to issue the invitation and then put the visitors in touch with local election officials who arrange for their access and logistics of schedule, Ereli said. Source.
