Rest easy, Boone County voters, the Canadians are here to save the day.
It’s a relief, eh?
Canada’s former minister of communication, David MacDonald, sat in the Boone County Public Library yesterday to let us know that he and others are watching our election today to make sure there is no repeat of the 2000 fiasco marked by Florida’s hanging chads and a presidency decided in the U.S. Supreme Court.
"It’s important that Americans from coast to coast … believe it was fair," MacDonald says of today’s vote.
To that end, MacDonald and South Africa’s Norman du Plessis will be jumping from polling place to polling place today, taking notes and observing.
