SHOCK as CBS Sees Vote By Mail Problems: ‘Vote in Person’ If You Can

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS has a schizophrenic relationship to covering mail-in voting. The journalists there seem to clash between two impulses: Reporting the obvious potential problems with voting by mail and parroting hack Democratic talking points that there will be no issues. In July, the network did a mail-in voting experiment and found a disaster. In August, CBS said everything would be fine. Now? Tony Dokoupil on Thursday went to Rockland County, New York to find out just how voting by mail works. Talking to a Republican and Democratic election commissioner, he saw how signatures can be way off, indicating a problem. Checking one ballot signature against what’s on file, he found a real problem: “It just seems like the pen strokes are different…. The decision [on the ballot], rejected, at least for now.”
