BERLIN (Reuters) - International observers documented a range of concerns during November's U.S. elections, including cyber security risks, disenfranchisement of current and former prisoners, and an opaque campaign finance system, a German newspaper group reported.
"The American electoral system is very fragmented and in many places no longer meets international standards," Michael Link, chief election observer for the 57-member Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), told the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper chain.
