NBC's Todd Mocks Election Fraud Critics (again), Wins Washington Applause

http://www.opednews.com/articles/NBC-s-Todd-Mocks-Election-by-Andrew-Kreig-130129-725.html

NBC Political Director Chuck Todd ridiculed election machine critics at a major conference of vote-counters last weekend -- thereby underscoring how Washington works.

Todd told the National Association of Secretaries of State that their critics must be paranoid to fear that anyone would deliberately alter results. Allegations against Karl Rove, above, are among the most common.

"That's just stretching the bounds of reality," NBC's chief White House correspondent said in response to my question asking him to amplify his Tweet last fall on vote-tampering claims. "That's feeding the conspiracy." Todd had Tweeted: "The voting machine conspiracies belong in same category as the Trump birther garbage."

"I owe you a 'thank you,'" Todd told the officials at the beginning of his remarks. "The more complicated elections are state-by-state," he joked, "the harder it is for NBC/Universal to get rid of me."

Why wasn't it just last October when Chuckie equated voting machine concerns with birtherism?

No wonder Chuckie called tweeters "ignorant trolls" last weekend when questioned about a tweet Jon Husted made thanking Chuckie for 'lunch' and agreeing with him about 'redistricting reform'.
