Governor Sanford of South Carlina (R) is turned away from the polls. He didn’t have his voters card. Now, that’s embarassing. If you listen you can hear either his wife or his assistant state that she asked him if he had the card “this morning.” (Maybe this is the penalty for ignoring your wife!!)
There are several of great progressive blogs and web sites. This was from Jerome Armstrong’s MyDD.
This site will be tracking electoral problems tomorrow: http://www.protectourvotes.org/
Read it. Know it. Submit problems to it.
(Update, Jerome)
Also, Common Cause has a voter hotline (1-866-MyVote1) that allows voters to call in and record their problems they’re having on Election Day.

Finally, a prediction from The Left Coaster, a quiet thoughtful blogger.

He stupidly says that you can go a candidates myspace page and learn everything that you need to know about the candidate. What turnip truck did this guy fall off of? Is it possible for a candidate to distort his/her image? Is it possible for a candidate to leave out important information that would be helpful to some voters? Is it possible for a candidate to lie? This dude clearly hasn’t learned enough about life. Dude, step away from the computer, go out on a date. Go bowling live and learn!
I’ve been waist deep in the voting problems in 2002 and 2004. So, when Keith Olbermann did a story on voting problems, it peaked my interest.
BTW, I’m convinced that electronic voting machines are the work of the devil (ok that is a little strong but they are NOT what is best for this country.)
