Little Miss Flint

@LoveMeLuLu22

Dinner is done, it took 6 
packs of water, so 144 bottles 
of water #FlintWaterCrisis 
#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.
