Faux News Is Already Setting Up Their Spin For Rmoney's Loss

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Once again, I was at the gym this evening and glanced up at the screen where Faux News was showing. There was a graphic on the screen showing that in Iowa, where early voting has started (or is about to start), the number of absentee ballots requested by Democrats was approx. 109,000, whereas absentee ballots requested by Republicans was approx. 20,000. Funny, but I wasn't aware that you had to designate your Party when requesting an absentee ballot (I know that when my wife and I requested ours here in Ohio, we got a form from the Secretary of State and it never asked for any kind of Party identification). So how could Faux News POSSIBLY know how many absentee ballots were being requested by Democrats and how many were being requested by Republicans?

My first thought was, "They're already setting it up." When the early returns from the early voting in Iowa come rolling in and show Obama with a big lead, they can turn around and say, "Well, OF COURSE he's got a big lead in the EARLY voting. All the Democrats are voting early. It doesn't mean anything." Then after Obama wins Iowa, they can shout "stolen election," and claim that a bunch of those vote-by-mail ballots were submitted by people who don't exist or something.

And this is just Iowa. Imagine what they've got in store for Ohio and Florida and the other swing States. They're already screaming that the current polls are wrong. What ELSE have they got?

1. What they used in 2000, announcing the results early?

2. I think both the list of names requesting and the voting rolls themselves are public records which

are accessable to the public. Thus they can know the number of dems and gop who requested ballots.

3. Perhaps more Dems requested absentee ballots because they thought that would be the...

...safest way to vote, and have their ballot FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY counted.

We typically DO NOT see Democrats suppressing lawful voters through intimidation.

We typically DO NOT see Democrats enacting modernized Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise minority voters.

We typically DO NOT see Democrats inventing new ways to prohibit lawful voting.

We typically DO NOT see Democrats using lies and deceit to hinder legal voters.

We typically DO NOT see Democrats committing electoral fraud and abuse.

We typically DO see Democrats encouraging voters and actively working to register ALL VOTERS, be they Democrat, Republican or Independent.
