ABC: "No widespread voting problems." Contact major news networks! We can do something about this!
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 05:47 PM by wildflower
I saw a newsbreak a little while ago on ABC and the reporter said the above.

I know many of you are already doing this, but I think it's very important that we send all news reports of voting problems to the major news networks. We can preemptively do something about election fraud, at least when it comes to the media.

Link to Skinner's official thread on voting problems: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2600685&mesg_id=2600685

On edit: I'll update soon with any contact info I can find for the networks.

1. Typical ABC
they don't want to seem lefty. And it doesn't have to be 'widespread', just in the right places for the GOP.

I'm trying to find it and can't...I know I've found it before. Help!

ON EDIT: Just not finding it for some reason. I think it was called something like Media Blaster. If anyone can point me to it I would greatly appreciate it.

10. I posted a voting problems thread using ABC news as my source
see this link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2602369&mesg_id=2602369


So how is it that they disregard their own news that they post on the web?

12. That's weird. Maybe it's because more ppl watch TV?
Or maybe it has to do with the use of the word widespread; as another poster noted above, FOX is using that too.
