WASHINGTON (AN) — The White House has defended its decision not to invite international observers to monitor November's U.S. midterm elections, insisting that Americans can oversee their own voting despite warnings from a European security organization that the move breaks with more than two decades of established practice and international commitments.
"No other nation has done more to advance the cause of human freedom and representative government. American elections will be administered, participated in, and observed by American citizens," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told The Hill in remarks published on Wednesday.
