Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Majority of 16k canceled Pa. mail-in ballots were from Dems by TransporterOffline

So it's absolutely idiotic to say that the title is sensationalist.

When you look at the numbers YOU just provided, the majority of discarded votes were from Democratic voters. The headline is true

Right. But it is clearly misleading because it makes people think

A) a majority of democratic mail in ballot were not counted WHEN REALLY

B) 10,000 of 1,000,000 mail in democrat votes were not counted (1%)

If you disagree w/ the how misleading the title is, you only need to see the comments.

Another accurate title would be: “Republicans mail ballots thrown out at nearly twice the rate of Democrat mail in ballots”

Equally as alarmist, equally one-sided, equally true, equally mis/disinformation.

How about “98+% of all 1.2+ million mail Ballots recorded accurately”.

A much less sensational headline that builds trust in our near error free election system in PA.

The headline literally says "majority of cancelled ballots were democratic"

Your point you listed above suggest that you didn't even finish reading the title. It's not misinformation because it's fucking true & accurate

Go apologize to your 3rd grade math teacher, and also your 2nd grade English teacher
