I'm loving me some Texans right now (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/26/texas-threatens-prosecution-against-international-poll-watchers/)


Texas has a message for international election observers planning to watch over the Lone Star vote Nov. 6: "BRING IT."

Texas officials this week launched a prickly and very public dispute with the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe, which plans to send monitors to polling sites across the U.S. on Election Day. The group has done this since 2002 -- but this year, Texas took exception to what officials perceived as a challenge to the latest wave of voter ID laws.

Attorney General Greg Abbott is now threatening to prosecute any observer who breaks state law by getting too close to any polling site.

"The OSCE may be entitled to its opinions about Voter ID laws, but your opinion is legally irrelevant in the United States," Abbott wrote in a letter this week to the OSCE.

Don't mess with Texas. If they've met with ACORN groups no wonder Texas is touchy. This UN group can come in and claim people are being prevented from voting and end up a political ally and their supposed neutrality would help the ACORN case.
