Creating the Dots

More than a few people have made comments about poor in-depth media coverage of Nevada’s midterm election cycle. Well, it’s not for a lack of trying on my part.

I broke a story that should have been on par with any national news item out there. I discovered that Senator Harry Reid held a political rally out side the polling place of the Joe Crowley Student Union on the University of Reno, Nevada.

It is illegal to hold political rallies in, near or around polling places in Nevada. But according to Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, there are no voting irregularities.

Furthermore, it appears all media outlets, local, regional and national, chose to ignore this news item.

That aside, I have created an in-depth list of items of interest in this year’s midterm election. While I’ll create the dots, I’ll let you connect them.

• Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is closely aligned with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN.)
• ACORN leaders in Nevada have been linked to voter fraud, even going so far as to register the Dallas Cowboys as Nevada voters.
• SEIU holds the contract in Clark County, Nevada to service the county’s electronic voting machines.
• That contract was authorized by the Clark County Commission, which is chaired Rory Reid.
• Rory Reid is the son of Senator Harry Reid.
• Recent polling data shows Harry Reid is unable to carry rural Nevada, while he is expected to carry more populated Clark County.
• Reid’s son Rory, is a gubernatorial candidate in Nevada and is behind in polls by 19-percent.

And before you beat me up over assailing the Reid’s, SEIU and ACORN, remember I was fired from a newspaper job after blasting a Republican judicial candidate for trying to silence the press over his failing campaign. Finally, if I got here, where are the rest of the media-types?
