It is very difficult to determine the extent to which the U.S. election observation missions and those from other Western countries actually deterred fraud in different elections. The answer to that question lies with persons who might have been planning to commit fraud, and they are obviously unlikely to volunteer such information.
From Thomas Carothers' book Assessing Democracy Assistance (pg. 47, no direct link). So one can see why I'm skeptical when election observers claim that this was "an impressive display of democratic elections", as posted in For-UA.
