Ted Cruz Sent "Voter Shaming Letter" To Iowa Professor of Political Science and the recipient eviscerates Cruz's campaign claim in an article via the New Yorker:
One of the targeted voters of Ted Cruz's campaign shaming letters is a political scientist in Iowa. He was none to happy with the message, or the data of himself and his neighbors.
In Iowa, although voter registration information is free and available to the public, voter history is not. That information is maintained by the secretary of state, which licenses it to campaigns, super PACs, polling firms, and any other entity that might want it. So was the Cruz campaign accurately portraying the voter histories of Iowans? Or did it simply make up the numbers?
It seems to have made them up. Dave Peterson, who happens to be a political scientist at Iowa State University and is well-acquainted with the research on "social pressure" turnout techniques, received a mailer last week. The Cruz campaign pegged his voting percentage at fifty-five per cent, which seems to be the most common score that the campaign gives out. (All of the neighbors listed on Peterson's mailer also received a score of fifty-five per cent.)

The Cruz campaign stepped in it big time on this one ...
Wow!
Not an Iowa Professor of Political Sciene! Oh, the huge manatee! This is super series! No, seriesly, who has the huge manatee pic?
Cruz telling the left (the professor is liberal) to kiss his a$$.
He’s also telling all those conservatives who itch-bay about the way things but don’t vote regularly to get off their butts and vote.
And tonight, Teddy doubled down on this, refusing to offer any apologies.
Let me know if any of the candidates called Iowa voters ‘stupid’. Oh, wait . . .
Everyone in my class has one
All the other kids get to
Everyone is going but me
All the other campaigns do it
Ethics are not dependent on what others are doing
Only a few 13 year olds still have that to learn
Most 13 year olds know what nation they are a citizen of too
so if he can prove his voting average is NOT 55% maybe he can sue for false advertizing
Good With The Gun.
Not so much with the spelling.
This is really bad for the simple reason that it sends shivers down a person’s spine , making them think that they violated the law .. people who received this will be very angry , and anger is a huge motivator to vote against the offending party , in this case , Cruz
Oh boy 4K views. That is very overwhelming.
And what’s worse, they just make the voting records up out of thin air. My... My... My.
From a comment below the article-
“Donna Holstein, who was listed on one of them, was upset to learn that she had been given a failing grade and that her neighbors might be told whether she participates in the caucus. She told me that she has voted consistently but that she can’t this time because of a disability.”
“I’m crippled, so I can’t go to the caucus,” Holstein said. She was not happy about being shamed in front of her neighbors. “That’s what you call a bully,” she said about Cruz’s tactics. ‘I wish he would quit.”
Way to intimidate old ladies, Ted, you creep.

You take care now, ya hear.........pilgrim
The spelling is an ongoing joke at FR.
Did you watch it? You should if you’re conservative. Had a few guest speakers.
You had me laughing!
The Professor is liberal?
lol. Cruz must love him then because he sent him his report card. Does Cruz ever listen to himself? Cruz telling the left (the Professor is liberal) to kiss his a$$. The same a$$ Cruz sent the report card too? Do you realize how insane that sounds? Perhaps Cruz does have mental problems.
