Some of their writers are better than others.

The thing about influencing elections - it's easiest to do if you simply suppress the vote, or make it difficult to vote. Or spread disinformation that deters voting. Or gerrymander the vote. These are the easiest paths, and IMO, this is what the GOP has been aiming at for a long time.

Nobody should get their news from one source, and that goes for Vox too. But it is a good source when consumed as part of a broad-based and balanced news diet.

There is no vote rigging. There is no evidence that there is vote rigging.

I suppose it depends on what one thinks of him. I am sure he is popular here on DU.

He tried to convince us that rigging an election was virtually impossible. Clearly he was way off

just because you dont agree with that, doesn't mean they are wrong or that vox is not credible.
