Foreign Monitors to Report on U.S. Presidential Vote

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Major international monitors will issue an unprecedented report on the handling of this year's U.S. presidential election, after the 2000 vote raised concerns of disenfranchisement, U.S. officials said on Monday.



The Organization for Security and Cooperation (news - web sites) in Europe will a send a team to observe the vote in a move applauded by Democrats who had sought monitors because they felt ballots were unfairly left uncounted last time, particularly in Florida.


In 2000, voters split down the middle in Florida, which was ridiculed worldwide as it spawned court battles over whether and how to count imperfect ballots. The U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) eventually ruled George W. Bush was the winner by 537 votes, which put him in the White House.


With polls showing this year's election between Bush and Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) will also be tight, civil rights groups have raised concern over a repeat of the 2000 debacle.
