1. Jason Mark, Director of Communications, Global Exchange ( I do not endorse at all this deplorable ode to incompetence and parasitism, hypocrisy and uncontrolled alter ego crises that Global Exchange's staff is composed), says one thing on http://www.watsoninstitute.org/events_detail.cfm?id=476

"...Mark explained that there is another international observation team from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in the United States for the 2004 election. They are here at the invitation of the national government, but what kind of welcome they"..."... will receive at polling places depends on the state. Right now there are some states that will not allow third-party observers into the polls, regardless of their desire for public confidence."...

The cited OHIO episode in your article is a proof of that....

Sarandon has been wishing for this type of monitoring of the U.S. elections, for a long time.
