On Saturday, Vox.com did a bit of Voxsplaining with an argument for why the U.S. Senate should be abolished (because it functions exactly the way the Founders intended, or something).
Vox’s numbers have been challenged:

Trende found that Vox got characteristically Voxxy with the facts.
As if that Vox piece on the Senate wasn’t bizarre enough already, @SeanTrende finds that it was based on a lie. http://t.co/tzxlzTibH0

Yeah, that’s pretty much not surprising.
This is the equivalent of @SeanTrende knocking @DylanMatt the fuck out. http://t.co/VeI4RQ8Vnj

@SeanTrende Thanks, Sean. What a misleading piece of garbage that Vox piece is. Yet millions will believe it.
