Whether we're 100% fair in all cases and 100% accurate in counting (Bush did win ALL of the recounts though) is probably up to be disputed. In my opinion, the question as to whether we are the most accurate and the most fair at these things in the entire world (or at least on par with our neighbors to the north  ) is something that I don't think is open to dispute.
This is just another little whimper by the left (11 Democratic members of Congress if memory serves) about how they still think the election was "stolen".

Aaaah... really who cares?
We have had observers here for decades (invited), and really it doesn't even get coverage. Yes some are there to make sure things go down "fair" but others are there to learn, so as to bring back to their country - or to aid in determining the fairness of other elections. So at worst they'll pick-up some tips for when monitoring other elections elsewhere
