Government funded radio station WMFE, fresh from correcting errors in coverage of Florida's withdrawal of a submission to DOJ of election law changes and filing in federal court, piles on more.  In the latest story critical of Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning's decision to go to district court seeking approval of statewide election law changes, WMFE's Nicole Creston reports:

"But it's unclear whether any jurisdiction has ever asked for both types of pre-clearance at once for separate provisions of the same law."

Unclear? Creston might report on Virginia, Texas, Louisiana and Georgia.  More states are coming.

WMFE's series of errors is representative of a larger problem in the media's coverage of election law.  The media frequently rely on sources that will trick them (Eg. "the myth of voter fraud") or on sources that have no idea what they are talking about.  The results are troubling.  Americans are led to believe that changing early voting dates constitutes the return of Jim Crow or that there is something nefarious in Kurt Browning's decision to bypass a biased (and ethically problematic -  more on that blockbuster later) DOJ unit that reviews Section 5 submissions.
