There is no evidence that the false and misleading results reported by the television news networks was intentional. Nevertheless, I am concerned about the networks heavy reliance on flawed data, their insatiable urge to be first, and the effect early and inaccurate media reports have on voter turnout in states where polls have not yet closed. To their credit, the networks have undertaken an internal review resulting in additional guidelines for election coverage. Proposed legislative solutions to the problem include the establishment of uniform poll-closing times, withholding election results until all polls have closed, and not reporting exit poll data while any polls are still open. Seeking Page Applications Second District high school students are urged to apply to serve as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congressional pages are an integral part of the legislative process.
To be eligible, applicants must be 16 years of age at the time that their appointment begins and have a B average or better in all major courses to date. Summer program applicants may only serve as a page during the summer before or the summer after their junior year of high school. School year applicants may only apply for their junior year of high school. I am accepting applications for the summer of 2001 or the 2001-2002 school year. The application deadline is March 23, 2001.
