A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

We should invite the United Nations to inspect or run the elections.

I get your point is to have a neutral 3rd party help oversee the elections, but having the UN do it would be one of the fastest ways to spark a civil war. A lot of Trump supporters very much believe the UN is one of the key players trying to bring the new world order.

OSCE is almost guaranteed to be there, and the UN is not really the organisation to do it because it's full of non-democracies -- which isn't that bad in itself but it's also full of countries calling themselves democracies that would be inclined to fuck shit up.

While OSCE doesn't observe every election every member state has every time they definitely hone in on possibly controversial ones on top of the regular rotation.

In 2012 the Texas Attorney General threatened to arrest the observers, btw.
