Abstract:

European election observers observed the voting process in the Triangle on Tuesday. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which is supported by the United Nations and of which the United States is a member, deployed the monitors. The officials noted that the election activities they witnessed in Wake County were free of voter fraud and tampering, but also complicated. They enjoyed some parts of the process, but had harsh criticisms for the impact of outside spending and our two-party system.
