Some people should still keep traditions alive.<br /><br />But just waiting for election day doesn't solve your problem. What if you vote at 8am, and the death happens at 9?JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317484043295391400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-64449885184932941662010-08-17T19:16:42.287-05:002010-08-17T19:16:42.287-05:00In California, a special election for a rare swing...In California, a special election for a rare swing State Senate seat, the 15th, John Laird (D) v Sam Blakeslee (R). There's a real effort for Laird, so Dems must think they have a shot in spite of the general environment.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932015378213238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-87489634052795865142010-08-17T17:59:27.020-05:002010-08-17T17:59:27.020-05:00From Seattle, What to look for in tonight's re...From Seattle, What to look for in tonight's results: Not much.<br /><br />http://dulynotedpolitics.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-to-look-for-in-tomorrows-primary.htmlAndrew Calkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443311272898885243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-53398333181526654292010-08-17T15:48:42.493-05:002010-08-17T15:48:42.493-05:00I teach computer science in San Diego and every da...I teach computer science in San Diego and every day I berate myself for not being more like the more intelligent and technological minded 99.993% of the people in the enlightened state of Washington.

We've had ballots for weeks, and we've sent them in already. "Election day" doesn't mean much any more. It's the day they count stuff, but it's not the day you vote.<br /><br />I think that technically we're probably something like 99.993% vote by mail. Somewhere the county has actual vintage polling places, where you can dress up in your best 20th century costume and drive the horse and buggy to go vote in person.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317484043295391400noreply@blogger.com
