Why is Texas threatening to arrest international election monitors?

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has monitored U.S. elections for the past 10 years to ensure they remain fair and open. But Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott threatened to arrest monitors this year if they disrupt any of the polling places they inspect. Critics charge that Abbott is retaliating against the OSCE because it met with liberal groups concerned about voter ID laws, like the one Texas wants to impose.
