On Tuesday night, Jon Stewart took on Florida Gov. Rick Scott for recent attempts to tackle the sweeping epidemic known as voter fraud. Surely, Stewart said, this so-called purge cant possibly be specifically putting minorities at a disadvantage.

The first thing that struck me was that the conservative spokesperson was allowed to present his position and to complete his sentences, even paragraphs, without being interrupted. it's such a change from the way that contemporary conservatives treat any guest with whom they disagree.
The second thing that struck me was that this treatment of the conservative was, in its own way, even more cruel. He was given enough rope to hang himself. He comes across as completely bogus.

That was done in order of his welfare reform.
