Jill Colvin’s Error, 20201123
She used the word tenants instead of the word tenets

Jill Colvin wrote: “Trump has remained largely behind closed doors since he lost his bid for reelection. He has refused to concede, lodging baseless allegations of voter fraud in an attempt to subvert the results and undermine one of the basic tenants of democracy.”

Instead of “tenants,” Colvin should have used the word tenets.

The passage appears on the website of the Tampa Bay Times at https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/11/23/white-house-still-planning-holiday-parties-despite-warnings/ in an article with the date November 23, 2020. The byline is “By Associated Press.” At the end of the item is “–By JILL COLVIN, Associated Press.”

According to the AP, Colvin began with that wire service in 2014. https://www.ap.org/ap-in-the-news/2014/ap-names-colvin-to-politics-post-in-new-jersey
