ELECTIONS ARE WELL RUN.   LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY.   TRUST BUT VERIFY.

Partisan Observers are an alternative or supplement to a country's official Accredited Election Observers, The primary aim is to encourage activists to see electoral processes in detail, to gain assurance that things are well run, which they usually are.
