This diary is part of a continuing series of diaries to focus attention on the FL-13 missing votes.
It has troubled me that the MSM has ignored the FL-13 story for over a month. At first, I thought there was not enough action, but along came court hearings, petitions to Congress, and more.
Now I believe it is because they are afraid to report on vote and voter suppression issues. They ignore, or bury, any real stories about our failed voting system. They tend to only see all election stories as partisan stories.
I predict they will return to the story soon. Not as a voter suppression story, but when it can be framed as a partisan one. Reporting only around the time Congress will decide (January 4, 2007).
