Election results and other such speculations
Florida, Sarasota County: If your voting machines screw up (MASSIVELY), well, just sell them to other states! Yeah! That's it! from DailyKos.
Here's some updates on the house races in OH, NC, LA, & TX that have been too close for comfort (again from DailyKos).
I really hope that a priority with our new, improved congress will be to set some new standards (Federal standards!) for voting. No more paperless voting, no more stupid state laws designed to disenfranchise voters (make that minority voters), a national holiday for election day. I'm all for vote-by-mail like we have here in Oregon. There's nothing like getting your ballot 2-3 weeks in advance and taking you own sweet time to fill out out. I really makes life hell for candidates trying their best to buy the vote. When do they start the TV ad saturation? When should the extra mailers go out? And for who? Who hasn't voted yet? Who voted early?
