cant scramble from what I understand. names need to be approved & list closed one week prior. we have 2600 here in Ohio in "questionable" precincts. I am in a pretty unsavory precinct .. assinged (surely not chosen).. pray for all of us. thugs, union meatheads, & crazy libs abound. Our training was good.. lots to know/do.

This may disenfranchise the dead.

The dead never vote in person. So you won't be able to challenge them in the voting lines.

Not a bad day. Started at 0700, got a little lunch at 1230, when the crowds let up (steady from 0700 to 1230). Slowed down in the afternoon (most votes in the afternoon were democrat; the Republicans were working...) Got relieved at 1700.

Of 1000 registered voters, about 700 had voted by 1700. Votes cast were 280 R, 295 D, 125 Ind. (most Independents vote Republican.)

Got home and hit the phone until 1900 and called it quits. Polls close at 2000 EST (four minutes from now.)

Had no problems at the polling place. Turned away maybe two dozen people who were not properly registered to vote at this place. No one went high order on us (one lady got pissed because they kept sending her to different places.)

BTW, ALL voters had to show photo ID and sign their voting card. Those who had done everything right but the paperwork had not come through, got to fill in a fail-safe ballot (if all checks out, the vote is counted.)

I started changing the democrat battle cry (Let every vote be counted!) to "Let every honest vote be counted!"

Someone sent me a Churchill quote tonight that I feel compelled to post for others:

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.
