Will there be 7500 Democratic observers as well?

No doubt the D lawyers will go to court over this if necessary and secure an injunction to stop the attempt at intimidation.

He's already worth over $200 Million. Is he trying to get into the Senate in hopes that it will prevent deeper investigation into his shady business practices?
