The Morning News , for example, had a reporter, Gromer Jeffers Jr., on the absentee ballots story for weeks before the election. But not one word did they publish. I called Jeffers to ask why the paper sat on his story. He didn't call back, of course. But you can figure why.
Caraway is black.
Ed Oakley, the guy who beat him, is white. Race continues to be the one issue that always turns the News ' knees to jelly. It has been Caraway's one issue from the beginning, and obviously it's going to be his issue in challenging the outcome of this election. What a joke. The person doing the conspiring and the cheating in this election was Dwaine Caraway, certainly in the moral sense, if not legally.
