Carter Center says it won't monitor Egypt's vote
|
[Al Ahram] Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's
... the worst president ever. Maybe the second worst. The votes aren't all in yet...
center says it will not deploy monitors for the referendum on draft constitution because of the government's late release of regulations for witnesses.
"Don't worry about it, Jones! I'm sure everything's fine!"
"Yes, Mr. President Carter!"
The decision reflects concerns that the rushed process leading to Saturday's vote has undermined the legitimacy of the disputed charter backed by President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist allies.
The speedy referendum has left the country deeply polarized.
The Carter Center said Thursday that it would not be able to conduct "a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of the referendum process."
Most Egyptian judges also are boycotting the referendum, saying they will refrain from overseeing the process as stipulated by law. In response, Morsi issued a decree breaking the vote into two rounds -- one on Saturday and another on Dec. 22.
