#ThanksGiving #WaterisLife
Before Michigan’s last
football game of the regular
season, the Ohio State branch
of the satirical website Barstool
posted a tweet showing a group
of individuals in OSU garb with
the sign, “Michigan Girls: More
Diseased than Flint Water”.
The tweet referenced the
ongoing water crisis in Flint,
which has sparked significant
health concerns for residents
and garnered national attention
for over a year. The crisis
started after the city switched
water sources to the Flint River
without using anti-corrosive
treatments, causing lead to
leach out of the pipes and into
the water. It has been linked
to medical issues in Flint
residents, especially children,
which include severe bone pain,
crumbling of the teeth, and
cancer.
The website, a sports blog
targeting a largely young college-
aged male audience, posted the
photo Saturday
Both Michigan and Ohio
State fans reacted negatively
to the OSU Barstool tweet,
which has been posted for over
10 hours. Students from both
the University and Ohio State
requested for the tweet to either
be deleted or the account to be
terminated.
Others directly criticized
the parent company, Barstool
publications, for the remarks.
The main site has come under
fire due to jokes deemed
offensive before, like in 2012, for
jokes regarding sexual assault.
According to the Huffington
Post, many protested Barstool’s
own concert tours in support of
sexual assault victims.
State Sen. Jim Ananich
(D-Flint) said in an interview
with NPR earlier this month
that Flint residents are still
struggling to have clean water
to drink.
“And I think, as a resident
of Flint, and my neighbors,
I can tell you we don’t feel
the urgency that I think that
this crisis deserves,” he said.
“(Flint citizens) need to have
the health, nutrition and
educational services to help with
the children that were hurt and
seniors and other folks that have
been damaged.
ON THE DAILY: OSU FANS MOCK FLINT WATER CRISIS AT GAME
SANTA IN KE RRY TOWN
J.
Alex
Halderman,
University
of
Michigan
professor
of
electrical
engineering
and
computer
science, is currently leading a
group of computer scientists
and election lawyers from
around
the
country
who
are urging 2016 Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton to call for a recount
in three swing states won by
President-elect Donald Trump
— Wisconsin, Michigan and
Pennsylvania.
While Clinton hasn’t moved
forward on filing for recounts,
Green
Party
presidential
nominee Jill Stein has filed for
a recount and filed a petition in
Wisconsin last Friday with the
state’s Election Commission
to have all votes recounted.
Stein plans to file petitions in
Michigan and Pennsylvania
as well. Stein’s actions now
leave many Clinton supporters
hopeful as they approach the
Dec. 13 deadline for Wisconsin
to release the recount results.
Halderman,
director
of
the University’s Center for
Computer
Security
and
Society,
and
voting-rights
attorney
John
Bonifaz
believe
there
is
evidence
that the results from the
aforementioned states were
manipulated
or
hacked.
Halderman found the results
questionable in counties that
relied on electronic voting
machines instead of paper
ballots or optical scanners.
While the group has not
spoken publicly about the
matter,
they
are
lobbying
heavily
with
the
Clinton
campaign
in
private.
On
Nov. 17, the lobbyists had a
conference call with Clinton’s
campaign
chairman
John
Podesta and Marc Elias, the
campaign’s general council,
urging the campaign to file
for a recount based on their
expertise and evidence found
in those three key swing
states.
In the initial count, Trump
won the presidency with 290
Electoral College votes to
Clinton’s 232. Assuming he
won Michigan’s 16 votes as
well — the race has not yet been
certified in the state because
the margins are so narrow
— Clinton would have to
overturn results in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Pennsylvania to
flip the Electoral College.
In Wisconsin, Halderman
and
the
other
activists
found
through
statistical
analyses
that
Clinton
received 7 percent fewer
votes
in
counties
that
used
electronic
voting
machines
rather
than
optical scanners and paper
ballots. Extrapolating this
analysis shows that Clinton
may have lost up to 30,000
votes in total throughout
Wisconsin, a state she lost
by only 27,177 votes.
The group found no clear
evidence
of
hacking
or
manipulation in Wisconsin,
but
did
come
to
the
consensus that this pattern
qualifies for an independent
review. The White House
is also suspicious of the
Russian government, which
was recently accused of
hacking
the
Democratic
National Committee.
