| 435. "lockdown" is an emotional word that is not informative |

By "lockdown", does one mean
"the doors to the building were locked"?
"all who entered or exited the building were searched and only with the permission of the Secretary of State or one of his/her representatives"?
"state police were stationed at every door to the building"?
"no independent or Democratic Pary observers were allowed during the vote counting process"?
I take any news article that uses the word "lockdown" without describing what is meant by "lockdown" (and they never do) with a grain of salt. I give DU posters who use the word only a little more slack.
