warning

Heard from the political grape-vine. It doesn't end Tuesday night. Apparently lawyers on both sides of the line are gearing up for another fight like 4 years ago. Even if there is a clear winner, votes and voters will apperantly still be fought over in the courts. Like the whole Ohio thing.

Yah, well, I'm not too overly surprised by this kind of action. It's not like they've not been at each other's throats for the last six months. I'm surprised they made it through the debates without getting into a fist fight. Both of them seek to win at all costs.

[Fierce Critter]

Yeah. I'll be heartened if there's an unexpected big gap between the two, but prepared for much haggling in the courts and such.

Hopefully, at least, none of the news media will declare a "winner" before there really IS one this time. THAT was beyond annoying in 2000.

Already found some problems this morning.

When I left this morning there was a bright green flier on my door from the Macomb Democratic Party telling me where to go and vote. The problem was that they had the wrong place listed. I contacted the Macomb County board of elections and by this afternoon new fliers were put out by the Democrats with the correction but I fear that some of the elderly folks who live by and people who might be new to the neighborhood may have gone to the wrong place and might have been confused.

Also the news has been showing long lines all day and that almost kept my grandmother from going out. She's 82 and I'm sure standing around for a long time is scary for her. When I took her to her polling location there were long lines (30-40 people waiting) at 2/3 of the precincts but her precinct had only 5 people waiting. I just wonder how many people won't go and vote because of the lines?

Here's hoping there are no major snafus and we know who won in short order.

My polling location had 2 precincts. It was odd to see, there was about a continuous 15 person line at precinct 4, but the precinct 8 line had 1 voter the entire time I was there. The poll workers at 8 looked quite concerned (and possibly bored).

I wondered if there was a mixup about where precinct 8 was supposed to vote.

My polling location had 2 precincts as well. but actually it was not supposed to be my polling location

premature votes in voting machines.... too many reports of this
