One thing about the “Why I don’t vote” guy that may be especially interesting to journalists from the Washington Post and other outlets is that according to the public Michigan voter file, apparently he does vote
I dunno. We're talking about it, and he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered by getting caught in a lie.
The question in my mind is, was the NYT just incompetent (never a bad bet) or was that a deliberate choice on their part, too?
