Josh Marshall at talkingpointsmemo.com has an excellent post this morning about the voting fraud issue as it relates to the US Attorney scandal. Josh has reviewed all the cases brought pertaining to election fraud around the country. Not surprisingly, this whole issue is made up. Primarily, the cases being brought involve people who have made innocent mistakes in their voter registration.
This is exactly the kind of story that the traditional media would do if we had a real Washington news corps. The fact that this story is appearing on an internet site and not on the Washington Post speaks volumes about our press.
Correction: Upon reading Josh's post again, I see I overlooked that it was based on a NYT article. Thus, my bashing of the media here is unwarranted. Still, Josh's post, and the article upon which it is based, are worth a read.|
