I've seen this before: my father-in-law does it. He takes a bunch of photos with his phone at an event like a birthday party and then posts the whole batch online. It doesn't matter if some of the photos are terrible. Or blurry. There's no editing/purging done to get rid of the bad ones.
But...he's not running for State Treasurer.
Mike Frerichs...on the other hand...has no excuse. Why in the world would he think it was a good idea to post this photo? It is soooo blurry. You can't make anything out. It is only 'bested' in terms of blurriness by the video Mike posted of his "ice water challenge". That was unwatchable!
