Absolutely yes. Plus, maybe even more importantly, those sheeply 3rd world public opinions that the US is somehow super fair in politics will then get a bite of reality.
Actually it shows a bit of humility on one front, and that the US is protecting its democratic traditions. You cant go and demand monitors for elections in 3rd world countries.. which the US does all the time (and Europeans), and then turn around and say "HELL no, we dont need that, we are perfect". I applaud the US for doing this, it is a positive move and shock and horror, it might actually expose a few flaws (which it has) with your election system that you might want to fix.
I seem to remember that the UN also had issues with voting machines security and the open political leanings of the manufactures.
