Huh. Maybe if he dies today, he can vote a couple more times. You think? Or is that only in Chicago? I sometimes forget the rules.

Democracy being somewhat unreliable and all, you understand. In NH: It is being reported that the NH GOP has gone to court to stop possible voter fraud. It seems that Republican poll watchers are being kept up to 40 feet away (can’t read or hear stuff from that distance) from the Registration areas at the poll locations – THIS IS ILLEGAL! And in Minnesota: Our local Fox affiliate in the

“We Could Be In for a Lurch to the Left,” Fred Barnes: For the first time since the 1960s, liberal Democrats are dominant.

…So I’ll just leave this as an open thread for election news — and let you all do the linking and “reporting” in the comments while I’m gone. Oh. And a quick reminder why your vote counts: Diana Oughton, Ted Gold, and Terry Robbins could not be reached for comment.

For what it’s worth: Yavelow contacted me and I sent him some relevant materials. When he ran the two books nominally by Barack Obama, the 1995 Dreams From My Father and the 2006 Audacity of Hope, through FictionFixer [software developed by Yavelow, a writer and composer, that “he believes is the most comprehensive linguistics tool for authorship detection”], he concluded, “They were written by different people.” As Yavelow explains, authors

Not that it matters to Democratic legislators, who find it in their best interest to keep the stink on Palin for as long as possible (and for the Greater Good), but here it is, nonetheless: A report by an independent state personnel board has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety commissioner last summer. Released today, the last day of the presidential
