Just remember: A grand total of 235 people voted to make Wade Emmert the new chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party. But 33,000-and-still-rising have now watched his rival Debbie Georgatos’s film-school thesiscampaign video on YouTube — and far more saw it last night on MSNBC, as Rachel Maddow and elections-reform expert Tova Andrea Wang used Georgatos’s short as a launching pad for a much larger discussion about voter fraud.
Because, after all, Georgatos does insist that “we must fearlessly confront one of Dallas County’s most pressing problems — voter fraud.” Which leads to a discussion about the on-its-way-to-Perry’s-desk voter ID bill, which, Maddow insisted, exists “to make it was harder to vote in Texas … because of the threat of voter fraud!” Jump for the video from last night’s show. Then jump up and down.
Update at 9:37 a.m.: One Sam Merten sends word that Georgatos’s video also found its way to CNN, where it made Anderson Cooper’s RidicuList. That must-see video is also on the other side.
