the election (was Re: popup update question)

[Courtney]

This will be a constant story over the next few hours (probably days)

I heard that this morning that they opened a polling station and found 2,000
votes already on machine!

Another story I heard was that in Franklin County (PA?) they had more people
registered to vote than there were people in the county!

And, there was one city that sent out 58,000 absentee ballots and they
disappeared!  They resent them...so do you think the missing 58,000 will
show up?

It's worse than that:

    Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She
    voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold
    every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed she
    had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres.

    She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected.
    She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters. They took all
    her information, and told her that she wasn't the first to report a
    similar incident and that they are looking into it.
