Trump administration has not invited OSCE midterm election monitors

MS NOW reports that the Trump administration has not invited observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to monitor the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. The OSCE has observed American federal elections for years, and the United States had been among the few countries of the organization's fifty-seven members never to refuse such invitations. Critics say the move undermines transparency and could fuel doubts about the legitimacy of the vote, while supporters frame it as a matter of national sovereignty.
Why now: The exclusion of international observers from a US election is an unprecedented break with long-standing practice, raising concerns about election transparency.
