Wheres Rachel (Maddow)?
By Mark Crispin Miller From Katie Hickox: Dear Ms. Maddow, I was disappointed tonight that you neglected to let viewers on your new show know that voter purges in 20 states, including Florida, are taking place. You spent nearly 10 minutes interviewing Debbie Wasserman Schultz, A Florida congresswoman. Both of you made comments about how many new registered Democrats there were–and neither of you even mentioned the ongoing voter purges in that state. Why this silence? It’s as if someone over you has told you not to mention anything about such purges, or the many problems with the electronic voting machines (reported in a recent GAO report), or any of the countless other GOP tactics being used to disenfranchise new and current voters. As to the ongoing voter purge in Florida, please read the email below, from NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller. (For more on the voter purges nationwide, see the Brennan Center’s new report at http://www.brennancenter.org/content/resource/voter_purges.) Kat
