4. 74% are neither Dem nor Repub? Can that be right?
No wonder we have problems in this country, if that many don't know what the heck they're for. We have basically a two-party government, and people don't know which one they side with more? Too many probably don't know the difference. No wonder they vote based on personalities, and take a year making up their minds. This explains a lot - nothing good, but nevertheless.

8. Party Affiliation = N/A for me here in WI. I don't remember it even being on the new registration
form when we had to re-register a couple years back. I've never been required or even asked to provide a party affiliation here. I would decline to answer if I was asked.

9. Can overwhelming voter numbers still guarantee that the election will not be stolen?
...There still are no audit trails for touch screen voting and the elimination of exit polls have taken away the one mechanism that allowed some degree od checks and balances in the voting process.

I will very interested in the final counts come this Tuesday.
