NYTimes posts, then drops, then posts VR’s press release on Connell

From Josh Mitteldorf:

Mark-

This is a press release from Velvet Revolution which was pasted into
a NYTimes web page.

It’s not linked to any page of headlines, so the only way to find it
is to know it’s there, or to search specifically for it.

This story appeared Saturday, then it disappeared, then it appeared
again at a slightly different address. It’s in the business section.
My guess is that someone in the business dept wants to get it out,
and someone above him doesn’t want it on the Times page.

That we see it at all in The Times is remarkable.

-Josh

The Longest Line

On Election Day, 2004, election fraud was epidemic in Ohio (and throughout the nation). Would-be Democratic voters were impeded or disabled by the thousands, especially (though not only) in the inner cities and in college towns.

Bush/Cheney's drive to block the vote was particularly flagrant in Gambier, Ohio, home of Kenyon College. While student voters at nearby religious schools had quite an easy time of it, Kenyon's students had to wait for hours and hours and hours. Those long lines sooned turned out to have been purposely created, through the deliberate under-supply of working e-voting machinery to the polling sites at Kenyon. (The same thing happened all throughout the state and nationwide.)

After the election, Kenyon students wrote up an account of what they went through on that day and very late into the night. It's called The Longest Line. As it did not receive its due attention--and as we're heading toward another presidential race--I offer it to you for download here.
