NEW YORK (AP) — Time was, a television reporter assigned to “democracy issues” would have a quiet time on election night sets, occasionally popping up to talk about broken voting machines at a polling place or two.
That’s not the case in 2022.
Between election deniers and threats to voting rights, news organizations have emphasized the beat. That will continue next Tuesday, with coverage plans for the midterms rounding into shape.
CBS News will have its first-ever “Democracy Desk” to look at those issues and how law enforcement is dealing with threats. NBC News’ “Vote Watch Unit” is looking at election security and disinformation. ABC News has assigned the team of Dan Abrams, Pierre Thomas, Terry Moran and Kate Shaw to the topic.
News teams, mindful of public suspicion about journalists, also promise transparency in their own operations.
“Because there is an adamant disinformation campaign, there are efforts to sow chaos, one of the most important things we can do is stick to the facts,” said CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell.
Expect surprises. Close pre-election polls, with control of the House and Senate up for grabs, combined with the lingering question of whether any politician will take Donald Trump’s example from 2020 and not accept the results, make the night potentially combustible.
“The stakes are high,” said David Chalian, CNN’s political director. “The results of this will alter the course of Biden’s presidency.”
One of Tuesday’s biggest mysteries is whether any 2020 election deniers become 2022 election deniers.

Tim Ryan has a Five point lead over JD Vance.
I almost threw up in my mouth at that but then I decided that the people who vote for these “Progressives” must atone for their vote and suffer the consequences.
Good grief, this is supposed to be a news story? The propaganda is so thick you could cut it with a knife. "Democracy issues" = "Threat to Our Democracy" = "Democrats might lose" Now who's the "election denier"?
The Party that wants to take away your guns, that wants to control what you say, that wants to redefine what words mean, that wants to punish their political opponents for disageeing with them, that wants to control what you THINK... Yeah, THEY'RE the ones warning us about NAZIS.
Why don’t they just drop all pretense and bring dAn RAthER back for election night…
Those despicable (censored) are going to give us “democracy” by copying the Chinese communists. Surveillance, shutdown of free speech, physical violence against conservatives. Some “democracy.”
I will never stop hating them. I am never going to forgive them. Sorry, turn the other cheek folks.
Democracy or democracy issues is euphemism for one party rule.
One party
One democracy
One rule
The 1619 Nation.
Rainbow flag its colors. June 19 retroactive Independence Day.
Another irrelevant mediacrat heard from.
The MSM is a bad egg.
Good post !
Excellent summary.
It’s Orwell’s Newspeak in our midst.
I’ll be at the local brewery hopefully celebrating.
If I see a woke idiot I’ll just laugh my ass off.

ALL PROPAGANDA.
“ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION!”
There, I saved them some time.
Media reports on the lies they tell to protect Democratcy.
“...the lingering question of whether any politician will take Donald Trump’s example from 2020...”
But it’s the AP...
Democracy issues, funny
FWIW I don’t even watch news networks anymore. My dad is a boomer and he religiously watches news at 6:00 and 11:00 pm. I would hazard a guess each generation after the boomers watch less and less network news. I guess election day is an exception. Which do I dare even watch on election night? Barf.
“Ludicrous Independent numbers like Whitmer is not +27 with indys. 57-30 Who are these people trying to fool. It is just like the Slimes poll yesterday with Indys up big on 3 of 4 polls.”
Liberal trivialities~B$: Abortion; Global warming; Jan. 6 riot., Gay males giving birth, Pelosi’s husband attacked by a 6 Jan riot type of guy!, Republican Deniers of whatever is posing as news, these days, 24/7.

GOP New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu told NBC’s Chuck Todd when he was repeatedly asked about Republican “election deniers” running for office: “You’re in a bubble, man.”
“You are in a bubble if you think anybody’s talking about what happened in 2020 or talking about Mar-a-Lago and all that,” Sununu said. “People are talking about what is happening in their pocketbooks every single day when they have to buy groceries or fill up gas.”
“It kind of has baffled me through this whole campaign season, the fact that Democrats keep pushing this stuff and talking about things that aren’t really what voters want to hear about.”
Leftist Rags and their lying pollsters will endorse every Leftist. It’s a given. It does not change any voters on the left or right!
