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.)

You are a little behind the times. Iowa voters used to be stupid, but they have smartened up in the past few weeks. They are seeing through the sleazy Ted Cruz tactics, and as they see more and more of Ted Cruz they like him less and less.
On the other hand, as they see more and more of Donald Trump they like him more and more. Sleep tight! Tomorrow is a big day!
Is the Political Sciene a river in France?
Danke, FRiend.
I was stationed there so long ago, but remember some still.
You wouldn’t recognize it, today.
81 million population and 40% of those are homeless. That is Germans own numbers. It is truly frightening. Socialism run amok.
“so if he can prove his voting average is NOT 55% maybe he can sue for false advertizing”
Now that would be interesting. A class action for intentional tort? Good times.
Using a bit of a sentence, as a quote, only makes YOU look like the fool you are.
Um, no thanks. Slime coating’s too thick. Oh & he is super creepy.
You might be “good” with a gun, but your post looks as though you never passed an English class.
Teddy is a LIAR and now an intimidator of old, disabled ladies. Gee....what great Christian “values” he has...NOT!
So if the Iowa SOS office 'licensed' (what's the fee?) crappy information, then the mailers had crappy information.
With the Iowa Governor calling to 'beat cruz, whatever it takes' would the SOS office maybe have a data problem? Ya think?
Ocmon it’s not oike he tried to steal her house to build a parking lot.
Looser!
I was stationed in Berlin back when the wall was up (82-85). Guarded Rudolph Hess at Spandau for a while, and had an amazing time. (Infantry)
When I first arrived there, we were used to clear buildings in the city of squatters on occasion - no live ammo but lots of stun grenades with bayonets fixed. The Anarchists decided they could inhabit old apartment buildings, and we had a lot of fun herding them to the Polizei who would wait outside.
My friends there couldn’t agree with you more today, both in the old West Germany and up north.
Oh no; I college professor that doesn’t like Cruz!
That’s a surprise!!!
You mean as in she wasn’t going to be compensated?
That kind of stealing?
Don’t be a creepy liar like Ted, it’s not becoming.
I tell you what, the little old lady thing makes me really mad.
If he sent some s*** like this to my mom...
I’ll leave it right there.
He’s a sweetheart and you know it.
This is disgusting, creepy, and evil!
Cruz is finally unmasked and he is a MONSTER !
You don't understand eminent domain at all.
