Three High School Girls are pushing for a female Presidential Debate Moderator. Daily Intel reports, “It's now been twenty years since a woman, moderated a presidential debate — the 1992 three-way event pitting the incumbent, Bush Senior, against Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. For Montclair, New Jersey, rising juniors Emma Axelrod, Sammi Siegel, and Elena Tsemberis, twenty years is long enough. On Monday, the three students showed up in Washington, D.C., intent on presenting the Commission on Presidential Debates with two Change.org petitions calling for a female moderator, and totaling nearly 175,000 signatures. But the commission's executive director, refused to meet with the trio. In fact, Axelrod said that, "we were turned away and we were not allowed to leave our packages there either, in case they contained dangerous material." More from Daily Intel.
