1/9: Not Hearing A Typical Voter Outrcy
1:30 p.m.
• Now it’s time for the Dr. Laura Call of the Day. This woman married some guy who always plays video games and Instant Messaging on the computer. They have one baby and thinks he should be more responsible. Uhhhh, I don’t think I want to hear the rest of this one…
9:30 p.m.
• You know what’s got me wondering. With the polls and pundits expecting a double-digit Obama win yesterday, and getting a way different result once all the votes were cast, how come I haven’t been hearing about voter disenfranchisement?
How come I haven’t heard about any far-sighted Jews talking about confusing ballots?
How come I haven’t heard about snarling police dogs keeping the three black people in New Hampshire away from the polls?
How come I haven’t heard about calls to nursing homes and flyers littering the plighted areas of town telling people that voting will take place on Wednesday, January 9 instead of Tuesday, January 8?
How come I haven’t heard about defective voting machines or erroneous tabulation counters?
How come?
I’ll tell you what. Seeing how I didn’t hear any of these problems after the 2006 elections, I must say that all that election-reform hooey really must have worked. It seems that literally overnight all of our voting problems were solved. Weird.
