The hundreds of international observers dispatched to keep an eye on the US election are already troubled by what they have seen.

According to an interim report, the election monitors sent by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have expressed deep concerns over the disenfranchisement of millions of US citizens.

?Up to six million Americans will be excluded from the election,? said Michael Georg Link, the OSCE?s chief election observer, in an interview with the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Link explained that an estimated 3.2 million Americans are being disenfranchised because they are either in custody and awaiting trial or have already been sentenced. An additional 2.6 million citizens have already served their time behind bars but were still stripped of their right to cast a ballot on November 8.

Jürgen Klinke, another German election observer, told the country?s leading daily Bild that the US had ?some catching up to do to meet international standards.?

The OSCE is also disturbed that so many Americans fear that the election would be rigged. Link explained that the international observers had so far seen no evidence that this is happening. Instead, he suggested that the accusations Democrats and Republicans had exchanged are rooted in the viciousness of this election cycle.

While GOP nominee Donald Trump has blamed just about everyone for rigging the system, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her camp have accused Russia of trying to influence the election by hacking the email accounts of party and campaign officials.

But don?t expect to hear the concerns of foreign observers in the mainstream media just yet. In July, WhoWhatWhy became the first US news outlet to report that hundreds of international observers would monitor the upcoming election. The OSCE usually only dispatches a handful of monitors to well-functioning democracies. Still, it took corporate news outlets a couple of months to catch up.
