I read this yesterday (December 17th) in the Wall Street Journal.
It was in a tiny little section on page A 4, in John Harwood's Washington Wire report.
It says:
"STILL WARY: though Kerry isn't complaining, 27% of Americans fear last month's presidential vote count 'has been unfair.' Just one-third of African-Americans call the vote 'accurate and fair,' while 91% of Republicans do."
Now, I have no idea where Mr. Harwood got this info or the quotes, but if almost a third of all Americans think the vote count was "unfair" (an odd term to use, making it seem as though the doubters are third-graders), I would think that would be news that would merit an article somewhere, instead of a tiny note hidden on page A 4.
Since my math skills are weak, to say the least, and I always hated word problems, maybe someone more talented in that area could figure this out -- if you subtract almost all the Republicans (probably that nine percent who think the election wasn't fair think that the Democrats were somehow cheating THEM), how big a percentage of the remaining Americans think the election wasn't "fair." Of course, you'd have to know how many Republicans and how many Americans there are, which I don't.
Any takers?
