Election Updates
Some election updates –
California is expected to have over 80% of their electorate turn out and vote. This is amazing, considering that most Americansin the past, haven’t voted. Hopefully, we are seeing a trend towards more citizen participation in our government.
Birmingham, Alabama is hopeful.
Fairfax, Virginia is having some problems with their voting machines. There is some sort of memory card problem. It has been reported that new memory cards have been sent out to these machines. One would figure that the machines would have been tested days before the election so that they are ready to go on the day of the election. Interestingly, people began to line up at 4:30 am to vote (polls didn’t open till 6 am).
Chesapeake, Virginia is also having some voter machine problems. It is raining and the scanner is having trouble reading wet ballots.
Dixville Notch, New Hampshire has voted. Barack Obama has secured 15 of the 21 total votes cast. The last Democrat that this small enclave chose for president was Hubert Humphrey.
