Local Senator in Ukraine for Crucial Election

Maryland Senator Ben Cardin believes Ukraine is one step closer to a lasting democracy following the country's election of a new president over the weekend. Cardin was in Ukraine to observe the election and issued the following statement:

“Sunday’s vote was a day of destiny for Ukraine and a turning point in the nation’s effort to overcome Russia’s interference in Ukraine’s democratic development. It also offers Ukraine a chance to turn a corner on a crippling legacy of corruption. The election also was important for the OSCE which is undertaking massive efforts in Ukraine aimed at fostering stability and encouraging democracy in Ukraine. These elections present an historic opportunity to build and independent, prosperous state based on the rule of law.

“I congratulate the Ukrainian people and the interim government on the conduct of yesterday’s free and fair vote. Along with my colleague, Sen. Rob Portman, I was pleased at the opportunity to observe the elections first-hand and witness ordinary citizens who were clearly determined to freely make their choice and be stewards of their own destiny.

  1. First question; what did they do to ensure that the same person did not vote multiple times or was who they claimed to be?

    Second question; do you think the senator really believes that the election will change anything?

  2. Dear Ukraine,

    As a show of support in your attempt to establish a lasting democracy, please keep Senator Cardin.

    Sincerely,
    A Maryland Taxpayer

      Agreed 100%. Message to Ben Cardin who's been getting government checks since 1987 - Was this trip funded by taxpayers again? Nevermind, we know the answer to that question.
      Another Screwed Maryland Taxpayer

  8. When did the Senate's responsibility include the monitoring of foreign elections?

    And is Cardin also concerned about the integrity of the election process back home in MD, where hackers can distort or change the outcome?

    I agree with the others' comments here: Tell the Ukraine they can keep `em!

  10. A state senator, who is inept in his own state, in in another country making sure it goes smooth? Laughable, at best. More waste... well that's a guarantee in this state!

  11. Just to clear the record... while the vote in Maryland is swayed by voters who dies years before an election or possibly voters voting early and often and at different poles... they can not be changed due to hacking...

  13. He's a Dimocrat from the western shore; wouldn't know what an honest election looks like.

    Ukraine, Crimea, Russia: Please, please keep him. Old fuddy duddy probably confused Red Army with DC's football team and rushed off to change the name.

  17. He must be securing a high paying job for a family member, just like Biden...

    I think we should make each politician sit in a Mexican jail for two months like the veteran who made the wrong turn.
