Democrats and the majority media-but I repeat myself-maintain voter fraud is not a problem, but after Growltiger's experience last November, forgive her if she's dubious. The cool cat had to touch the touch screen on her voter machine four times before the machine allowed her to vote for the Republican. There is no way to prove Growltiger did not accidentally touch the wrong pad initially, but she's one hundred percent certain the next two times, she did touch the Republican candidate's name. When she started yowling that the machine was rigged the horrified poll workers rushed over. Once they showed up, the recalcitrant machine finally allowed her to vote for the Republican candidate. She makes no judgement; she is only reporting what happened. She refused the "I Voted" sticker because she wasn't sure she had.
In an article to be published in the journal
Electoral Studies, two professors reported data from a social science survey on non-citizen voter participation. Data from the
Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) indicates that while most non-citizens do not vote, enough do that their participation can change the outcomes of close races. Drudge, of course, reported the study, proving just how biased the DRUDGE REPORT is for linking to a story the "mainstream" media were ignoring. (Dastardly FOX reported it, of course). A Google search using "voter fraud+ODU Professor" (one of the authors' university) turned up a NATIONAL REVIEW reference, followed by an MSNBC (you know, that totally unbiased network) debunking the article followed by a WALL STREET JOURNAL
opinion piece followed by a WASHINGTON POST
Oh, and by the way, in the 2006 elections when George Bush was president, and the Democrats were poised to take over the House and Senate, ABC, NBC and CBS devoted 88 minutes to the midterm elections. This year, they've devoted a total of 18 minutes.
In a scenario reminiscent of Candy Crowley's openly (and incorrectly) siding with President Obama against contender Mitt Romney in the 2012 foreign policy presidential debate, the "moderator" of Thursday evening's New Hampshire Senate debate accused Republican Scott Brown of botching New Hampshire geography while gently reminding the voters that the Democrat Shaheen had been their Governor and for the last six years, their Senator--the implication being that he was a carpet-bagger, "come here" or "stock trout" and that she wouldn't botch the state's map like that. Interestingly, the same majority media had no problem with Hillary Clinton's running for New York's senate seat when she had never lived in the state before it became obvious the Senate seat would be coming open.
Like Ms. Crowley two years ago, the moderator later admitted Brown was technically correct and apologized, but the cool cat wonders if, like with Romney, it was too little too late, and the damage had been done.
Growltiger finds her experience with the rebellious voting machine and the professors' article about non-citizens voting disturbing, but nowhere near as disturbing as a majority media that picks and chooses what is reported based upon whether it helps or hurts one side or the other and/or functions as moderators in important debates where their questions and interruptions can help one candidate or the other and where their apologies come the next day when the cameras are turned off. Because the majority of the mainstream media are openly partial to their Democrat colleagues, the Tiger feels debates should be conducted by two moderators: one who is a former Democratic operator like George Stephanopoulos or James Carville and one who openly sides with Republicans (a Charles Krauthammer or Steve Hayes). Then let the Democrat ask the Republican questions and let the Republican ask the Democrat questions. The fur, as we cats like to say, might fly....End
