Gutting Out the Vote 0

Leonard Pitts, Jr., tells one voter’s story–a voter who waited in line for six hours to vote in a primary–then looks at the larger picture of the voter fraud fraud. Here’s a bit:

It Doesn’t Add Up 0

At the Hartford Courant, Thomas Cangelosi does the math. A snippet:

Indeed, in a case of life imitating art, I thought the Republican defense of the president seemed to come out of the pages of George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
