And finally, some more news from that state where everyone's vote is counted - unless your a convicted felon who has paid his or her debt to society - Florida:

Scary stuff - you may not see this kind of activity at your polling place, but knowing that this is still going on, four years after the 2000 election, is sobering, if not horrifying. Keep your eyes and ears open!
And if you spot other news stories that might be of help to folks, please post or "comment" them. Good luck!
