On Monday, June 5, 2006, I attended a training session for assesseurs (poll watchers) of the world-wide Internet election for the Assemblée des Français de l'Etranger. This Assemblée will in turn elect 12 members of the French Senate, so the legitimacy of this election is important even to citizens residing in France. I observed many things about the process of the election that will make it impossible for the assesseurs to certify with any confidence that the election is conducted accurately and without fraud.
