Despite the fact that numerous studies and extensive evidence have shown that voter fraud is vanishingly small, we have been hearing about it for years. Even before the 2016 elections, concerns regarding voter fraud flooded the internet. 

We’ve had two election cycles, in 2016 and 2020, where accusations of voting fraud frequently appeared in the news. It would be beneficial if we had a way to ease these fears during the 2024 election by ensuring the integrity of our elections.

To address this, I ask: Would it be helpful to have the Department of Justice ask the United Nations to send election observers to America’s swing states to watch the polls, since this is where election results would most likely be called into question? These independent U.N. observers would have no vested interest in the results of the election, and could reassure everyone that our elections were held fairly, accurately and honestly.
