- ra 2y agoIs anyone really impartial?
- chrisjharris 2y agoHow should they be funded, for you to consider them impartial?
- Shin-- 2y agoNot by a country directly opposed to Venezula's government would be a good start.
- tptacek 2y agoThe issue in this post has nothing to do with any of the outside election observers. You could replace the Carter Foundation with the CIA itself and you'd still be left with the same problem, which is that these vote counts are fictitious.
- cmg 2y agoThe comment I’m replying to says they’re “the only impartial observers who were in Venezuela for the election,” so I think the point stands - given their funding and connection to the US government and international capital, they can’t be considered impartial in this situation.

- suzzer99 2y agoThe Carter Foundation stood up to the US govt in 2004, when they validated Chavez's win. Maybe they became un-impartial since then. But you're assuming a lot.
