    Sometimes I think it's the raw arrogance of these blatantly biased political attacks thinly disguised as academic research results that get to me. Nobody with an ounce of intellectual integrity can consider these things valid once the nature and identity of the 'researchers' are known but still the garbage research is presented as both factual and unbiased.

    Two months before the 2016 election our Secretary of State, Delbert Hosemann, was traveling the state of Mississippi assuring people that our voting could not be tampered with -- but if you see Putin around the polls when you go to vote to call him immediately.

    Lefties should try to learn to dispute the data instead of being lazy and dismissing the source. The link in the story goes directly to the Oxford study, can you debate the study?

    I read elsewhere that the study was financed by your typical leftist organizations.

    When one side of the government funds you to do a political hit piece on their opponents, the academics will do their "jobs" so they can get more grants in the future. Its like when the government funded the colleges to show why grain and breads are the best food group for human diets, when in actuality its the worst food group. Or when the gov told the schools to "study" global warming. Colleges will always find the reasoning to prove the governments hypothesis correct.

    Er, the link in the OP is saying that the Oxford study is baseless and has dismissed the source without any debate other than saying that those behind the Oxford study are lefties
