Is it true that the Electorl College votes are cast Monday? If so that ends all the lawsuits and recounts.
Who controls the county governments in the areas of Ohio where voters were allegedly disenfranchised by long lines and other tactics that Jackson claims were designed to keep minorities from voting? Republicans or Democrats?
The socialists, e.g., the democrat party is just trying to destroy confidence in the election system over a protracted period of time. They know that during the next election cycle, they can continue to cast doubt and eventually they can flat out steal the one thing that makes a democracy, the individual vote!
The slow, painful death of journalism in the country began when jouralists decided it was acceptable to use statements like "some say" or "many critics disagree" to introduce an opposing point of view.
These statements are never sourced and mislead by suggesting that there is a legitimate, rational basis for the point. Journalists should always label their sources for such statements. If "some say", give us the names of the "some". If "many critics disagree", give us the names of the critics. Let us be the judge of the value of the point based on who put it forth.
Of course, the sad truth is that the source of the criticism is almost always the network themselves.
