Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 20 years

Original: Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades The decision not to invite

The Trump administration has declined to invite international election observers from the OSCE, breaking with more than two decades of practice. The decision places the United States alongside Russia and Belarus, which also do not accept such monitors. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is preparing to deploy its own poll watchers for the election.

Why now: The break with long-standing democratic transparency norms and the comparison to Russia and Belarus is drawing widespread attention.
