Why is MSNBC only showing Republican turnout this morning?

I'm watching and all I see is Republican turnout. I'm sure there are just as many folks in some of the Democratic areas to show too. Do a little of both or none of either damn it!

I know the Dems are going to show up and show out anyway.

May I just say, aside from my hatred of celebrities. The only thing that can ever trump that is any Royalist or Loyalist. It irritates the fuck out of me. Media outlets have far more important and local issues to contend with rather than supporting (by focusing attentions on) a succubus "mock" leader. For real though. I'd rather be seeing what is going on in Wisconsin and talking about Wisconsin and local --national news than this stupid jubilee shit.

she had one location with all of the folks lining out the door and he reported that it was a Republican stronghold that was 300 percent voting thus far this morning. Made me nauseous.

How the hell did they even get those numbers. Maybe those Repubs are actually voting Walker out.

Their whole reporting, including their disingenuous and mis-leading headlines have been so blatantly pro-republican as to give Faux Snooze a run for its' money..

the nutbaggers who constantly vote against their own interest (SS, SSDI, Unemployment ect) are not working thus can vote earlier

Did that look like a lot of activity to you? A reporter and one voter/poll worker/random person heading to the bathroom?

Reporter claimed voting was up 400%!!!!!!!!! Fairly tight shot, couldn't see much activity and then one person walked through the shot. It was actually somewhat funny because he looked uncomfortable making the statement and said voting was 'steady' but there was more activity earlier.
