IC Press Citizen: "Statistically, Does Your Vote Matter?" "Having the deciding ballot not likely"

[emulatorloo]

What the hell were they thinking by running this as the MAJOR HEADLINE in today's paper?

It is an AP story -- fournier? there is no byline.

Deep in the story it indicates things are different in battleground states.

But how irresponsible to run this as the lead on the day before election day.

1. What a load of horse manure...

This is despicable. This is horrible. This is voter suppression.

The day before the election, to dismiss the role that voting plays using middle school level statistics is absolutely pathetic.

I would expect this from the Sioux City Journal, or even the Des Moines Register. But the IOWA CITY Press-Citizen???

2. My IC friends refer to this rag as the "Press-Shitizen."

I have never seen anything good about this Lee Enterprise scumbucket ass wipe paper.
