Description

The 2020 vote will have the fewest international observers of any US election, despite having some of the biggest-ever concerns about the integrity of the vote: court disputes over mail-in ballots, loosened restrictions on voter intimidation, and an administration that's left the public guessing on whether it will commit to a peaceful transfer of power.So what is the role of international observers in the US, and why is it different from many of the countries the US itself observes?In this episode:Avery Davis-Roberts, associate director of the Democracy Program at The Carter Center; Al Jazeera journalist, Alan Fisher; and Jasmeet Sidhu, senior researcher with the End Gun Violence campaign at Amnesty International.Connect with The Take: Twitter (@ajthetake), Instagram (@ajthetake) and Facebook (@TheTakePod).
