Free goodies, long lines, voting machine problems
First, do you need to numb out from Election Day? Here's a list of all the freebies you can get.
If donuts and ice cream don't give you a free sugar high, hit Starbucks. In Baltimore, there's even free beer.
And, if you get up to SoHo, it's a free vibrator or penis sleeve.
On the serious side, we do have voting problems. The L.A. Times notes some Florida optiical-scan machines are jamming.
Virginia has had machine problems, long lines, and reports of people being turned away.
The Virginia Board of Elections rejected an NAACP appeal to extend voting hours and provide more machines, then won the case when the NAACP sued.
And, this one isn't a case of vote caging or disbarring. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine is a Democrat, and the head of the Board of Elections, Nancy Rodrigues, is a Kaine appointee.
That said, what does this say about Kaine's congressional or senatorial future? He is surely interested in something beyond the governor's mansion in the future.
The Brad Blog has a full roundup of voting problems.
In Ohio, Toledo police have riot gear at the ready.
In suburban Indy, two GOP election workers were bounced from an election site for illegally challenging voter ID.
