MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace suggested Monday that foreign election monitors should oversee American elections, declaring the Republican Party is trying “to destroy our democracy.”
However, her guest, Democratic Rep. Jim Himes (Conn.), disapproved the idea.
“In countries where questions of legitimacy hang over elections, election monitors, often sent by legitimate democracies and non-governmental organizations, conduct oversight and record questionable practices,” The Blaze noted.
“We’re so focused on our own pretty splendid efforts to destroy our democracy from the Republican Party in this country that we forget there are foreign actors that represent a grave threat as well,” Wallace said on her MSNBC show.
“The threats to our elections in what, 2.5 weeks, are so pervasive, and they’re so dire, and they include violence — I mean, do you think it’s time to ask for friends and allies to come over and help us monitor our elections?” she went on to ask Himes.
“We used to do that in other burgeoning and threatened democracies.”

The Blaze reported:
Himes, though he agreed with Wallace’s concerns, promptly explained he does not share her solution.
“No, Nicolle, I’m not there yet, and I know why you’re asking what you’re asking and you’re not wrong,” Himes responded.
“I mean, the kind of intimidation that is threatened around polling places. You’ve seen the pictures of the guys with assault weapons near boxes — that stuff is intimidating,” he added without evidence. “That used to be the province, I hate to use the term, third-world countries that didn’t care about democracy.
“But no, look, this is something for us to work out ourselves,” Himes said.
Despite heavy-handed rhetoric from Democrats and media members that American democracy is under threat, the democratic processes that guide America through elections have not failed — not even once.
Infowars added:
What happened to the U.S. having “the most secure election in history“?
The Democrats are suddenly worried about election integrity now that most polls indicate a landslide Republican victory in the upcoming midterm elections.
Even Hillary Clinton, who frequently refers to Republicans as “election deniers,” claimed that Republicans are trying to steal future elections.
“Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election, and they’re not making a secret of it,” she said Monday.
Questioning elections when Democrats win makes you a dangerous insurrection. Questioning elections when Republicans win makes you a hero. Those are the rules of the media. https://t.co/7ot06Y1o3W

As we’ve reported, Democrats are quick to question elections only when they face the prospect of losing.
