NY DAILY NEWS EDITED BY IDIOTS
In its endorsement of Frank Lautenberg for the contested seat in New Jersey's senatorial race, the Daily News made the following startling factual flub:
And people should not forget that it was the Republican-dominated New Jersey Supreme Court that ruled unanimously to allow the ballot substitution even though Torricelli withdrew after the deadline for ballot changes.
Now, I'm no statistics expert. However, I would assume that in order to be the "dominating" party, you would have to have a majority, at best. Yet of the 7 justices that decided the case, only 2 were Republican. Don't believe me? Read it in the NY Times:
After noting that the law does not specifically prohibit a change of candidates within 51 days of the election, the seven justices - four Democrats, two Republicans and an independent — ordered the state attorney general to oversee the printing of new ballots and their delivery to all eligible absentee voters.
The people should not forget that if the Daily News wants to endorse Lautenberg, then they should do it based on his record, not on how he got on the ballot, or whomever put him there.
And whoever wrote the endorsement should be ashamed of such a blatantly obvious factual mistake.
