The OAS monitored the US elections with a staff comprised of 28 experts and observers, from 13 countries.
They had been invited to do so by the Trump administration.
CONCLUSIONS
The Mission stresses that as the process continues, every valid vote cast in these elections must be counted, once it was received within the framework of the existing rules and regulations in the respective states.
The Mission also reiterates that all candidates must be guaranteed their right of complaint and appeal, once these are made within the applicable legal frameworks.
The 2020 elections have been historic in many ways, including the extraordinary efforts by electoral authorities to expand voting options and facilitate safe and secure voting by a record number of voters, despite a debilitating global pandemic. While the environment of the elections was competitive and fraught, the ability of voters across the country to access the vote in less than ideal circumstances, exemplifies the democracy for which the United States is renowned and which it has championed across the globe.
The OAS Mission urges all political parties, candidates and citizens to allow this democracy to prevail and to allow the remainder of the electoral process to unfold within the framework of the law.
TL/DR synopsis: no malarkey, Biden won, good job USA in running a clean and fair election that allowed high participation during a trying pandemic.
