Trump administration bars international election observers

Original: Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades

The Trump administration has refused to allow international election monitors for the first time in more than two decades, breaking a long-standing US practice of inviting outside observers to oversee federal elections. The move is drawing criticism from watchdogs who say it undermines transparency, while supporters argue the US does not need external oversight of its democratic process.

Why now: Breaking a two-decade precedent on election monitoring raises concerns about transparency ahead of upcoming elections.
