You have a smooth process here. maybe you could export some of your practices to some of our states in the US - international observer

You have a smooth process here, I think, that maybe you could export some of your practices to some of our states in the US, said Jake Hoffman, said the observer for the Centre for Fundamental Rights, speaking to media in Khashuri.

"We`ve been to 2 different cities and, maybe, 5 or 6 polling stations. Everything looks good to me from observing; very peaceful outside, no protests, no stopping anybody from voting or anything like that, you have a smooth process here. I think that maybe you could export some of your practices to some of our states in the US, like California. I see that you check IDs here, you fingerprint, you get a receipt with a picture on it, and you have a very secure way of making sure people are supposed to be voting. In US, not so much in some of the states.

It’s good to have the combination of electronic system and paper system to back it up.  It makes it easier to count. You`ll have a number much faster at the end of the day, versus trying to count paper ballots. That`s why its good to have both.  Overall, I think that you are doing a very good job with the election", said Jake Hoffman.
