What a preposterous bunch of tripe. I can't believe the Washington Post printed this. Minority votes undercounted BY DAN BALZ Washington Post Service WASHINGTON -- Voters in congressional districts with low incomes and high percentages of minorities were far more likely to see their ballots discarded in last year's presidential election than voters in wealthier districts with fewer minorities, according to the first national study of error rates in the 2000 election.

WASHINGTON -- Voters in congressional districts with low incomes and high percentages of minorities were far more likely to see their ballots discarded in last year's presidential election than voters in wealthier districts with fewer minorities, according to the first national study of error rates in the 2000 election. Perfect example of slanted media. The implication in this paragraph is that ballots in low income areas were intentionally discarded through some sinister (right wing) bias.
