Count the Votes –updated–
Donna Edwards has not conceded, as
far as I can tell and have been told, though MyDD (and in Matt's post) is the place to find out the latest.
Problems range from delayed delivery of new equipment to an insufficient
supply of trained technicians to fix anticipated problems, voting experts
say.Already this year, glitches have occurred in Arkansas, California, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. Maryland became
the latest on Tuesday, when technical problems, human errors and staff shortages
led officials to keep some polls open an extra hour.
The election is going to be tough, but Democrats have the edge, no matter of what The Note says, which I'll get to in a minute.
Jesse Lee has a video that says it all, \”No
Regrets.\” Watch it.
Had enough?
Also, after Olbermann took out after Bush, and after seeing Newsbuster's
letter to Dan Abrams over it, which I covered on my radio
show, I wondered if the ratings would tell the real story. People
are hungry for Keith Olbermann's Edward R. Murrow in your face demeanor. Well,
I was right. He
beat Paula Zahn on CNN and Nancy Grace on HDL. Congratulations, Keith.
But the take the cake award goes to the always GOP obsequiesness of THE
NOTE, which blows kisses and love towards Republicans, deciding to
bet on Bush in November. Let's make them choke on it in November.
Latest news… FYI on Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 pm a truckload of machines and cards from three precincts rolled into the board of elections in Prince George's County — polls had closed at 8:00 pm on Tuesday. No one at the Board of Elections can account for the whereabouts of this truckload of ballots until it showed up at 5:00 pm on Wednesday. These ballots were from precincts that we had canvassed and phonebanked heavily. The reports from the precincts were radically different from all the other 203 precincts that had reported, through which we held a balance of 56-40 (Wynn) in Prince George's — the lost truckload of ballots came in with a 10 percent margin shift which significantly altered the count out of Prince George's County. I'm not a statistician, but this may be a statistic impossibility. We're trying to get to the bottom of all of this, in addition to counting all the absentee and provisional ballots that are outstanding. – Donna Edwards for Congress
