11. I tried
but holding for 15 minutes on a cell phone when you're driving to work is not good and I can't call from work. Another DU'er has kindly offered to call for me, but I'm sure many who tried to call gave up and hung up.

We'll never really know the magnitude of the problems.

13. I know
After six year this shold NOT BE HAPPENING. I blame this also on the Democrats in Congress not taking this issue seriously

It is up to the people to do whatever it takes

35. Don't blame the DEMS IN CONGRESS. Voting is a state-by-state
issue. Blame the state legislatures for dropping the ball but don't blame Congress.

15. Might wanna actually bookmark election threads on your browser
Come this evening, this place will be so busy that many features will be down. Sometimes that includes one's ability to use the MY POSTS feature.

I just remembered the frustration of trying to find specific threads after Katrina. Just created a special DU ELECTION DAY THREADS folder in my personal Favorites folder on my browser.

DU will be hoppin tonight and we won't be able to rely on many of the features we generally use.

Have a great Day and GOTV! :hi:

10. As much as MLK Jr. advocated peace and nonviolence...
I'd think even he would want to slap Ken Blackwell a couple of times. I know I do.

Yeah, there are times when you just have to let the worst out. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

21. Already?!?
Unbelievable. And as a Florida voter, I'm waiting for that state to show up red any minute now. I'm glad I early-voted on a paper ballot!

22. Wow, Ohio
On the map, Ohio is the only state in red - meaning there's been more than 250 incidents of voting problems there already. Blackwell's doing a smashing job as SOS, I see.

28. Looks like he's a goner in the governor's race
he was down 20 points. Now if he manages to win, we'll know EXACTLY how he did it.

31. Wow
I didn't think NY would be so high on the list. Didn't think they'd bother messing with such a blue state.

Hmmmm--California's up there--is Cali this year's Florida/Ohio? (They seem to switch states each election...)

32. I don't think it's up-to-date, which would be understandable.
The map is showing 8 "incidents" in Denver, and it's clearly much more than that.

This is the feared nightmare.

37. Missouri
Joplin precinct runs out of ballots!

Workers at the Jasper County Clerk’s office were telling those who vote at Cecil Floyd Elementary School in Joplin to wait a while before casting their votes.

Shortly after noon, election judges discovered they had run out of ballots. An employee at the county clerk’s office said they were taking more ballots to the Joplin precinct.

In the Red. So many RePuke crooks here. They're really blatant about it too.
