Tiffany Wilson Bio
Tiffany Wilson graduated cum laude from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in June 2007.
Since graduation, Tiffany has traveled with Palestra.net to California, Maine, Florida, Texas and pretty much every state in between. She's interviewed thousands of students about this election and she managed to almost die eating blueberry pie, sniff a belly covered in preparation H and fire a semi-automatic shotgun along the way.
Despite gas station dinners and long hours in a giant blue van, Tiffany absolutely loves being a Palestra.net reporter!

Ohio Voting Fraud Prosecution Details
2008-11-19 11:15:01
Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Ron O’Brien is indicting a man on 24 counts of voter fraud.
Antonio Alvande is charged with submitting false, fraudulent, fictitious voter registrations for himself and at least eight other names or individuals. Alvande was charged with 14 counts of false registration and ten counts of illegally obtaining an absentee ballot.
According to the indictment, between June 13 and October 24, 2008 Alvande submitted false, forged, and fictitious registrations using the address 3731 E. Broad St., Apt. 326. This address correlates to a Boxmaster shop in a strip mall. Alvande leased mail drop box 326.
Alvande registered not only himself but also the names Warren Barnessel, Andre Carrero, Stephanie Clardy, Netheus Clevontce, Noreen Gans, Dale Miracle, James Pearson, Tyronne Singleton and Atheus Velhontce to this address. Some of these names connect to real people, others are non-residents and some names are completely made up.
Alvande is currently being held in the Franklin County Jail.
Six new cases of potential voter fraud were referred to O'Brien by the Board of Elections last week. According to the press release, O'Brien expects further indictments in his ongoing voter fraud investigation.

Majoring In Sex - Why Do College Students Have Sex?
2008-11-19 10:31:41
This is part of a series of articles examining sex on campus, looking at everything from the art of the pickup to choices and consequences and what kind of experience students want for themselves and their partners.
Yesterday I posted two top ten lists from 1998. Fast-forward nearly a decade and we find a new top ten list: The top ten reasons college men and women have sex.
Overall results - more couples are coupling for lust than for love.
A survey of more than 1,500 college students found physical attraction is the number one reason both men and women have sex.
Both genders’ top ten lists included seven reasons related to bodily pleasure, fun or hormones. Women ranked affection and love as their fourth and fifth motivation for sex. Men ranked the same responses as fifth and eighth overall.
Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years analyzing why college students have sex. After extensive interviews, UT clinical psychology professors Cindy Meston and David Buss initially compiled a list of 237 reasons people sleep together. They then asked college students to rank each reason on a one-to-five scale.
“Men were more likely to be opportunistic towards having sex,” said Meston. “Women were more likely to have sex because they felt they needed to please their partner.”
The co-authors said their study found 20 of the top 25 reasons for having sex were the same for men and women in college. Meston said their findings rebuked popular beliefs that men want sex for pleasure and women only want love. “None of the gender differences are all that great,” said Meston.
However, Meston admitted these findings are specific to the college crowd where “hormones run rampant.”
The study was originally published in the 2007 August edition of Archives of Sexual Behavior. Click on the link above for more.
