Just heard it on the radio
Did they say it was because too many people waiting to fit into the 'chute' outside the polling place or is there some other reason?
Crap - word must have come down that Kerry needs more votes...
That's how Carnahan beat Ashcroft in MO by stealing votes in the St. Louis area!
I don't like it at all electoral votes still too close to call I want to see either Ohio or Florida called for Bush so I can relax a little.
Maybe we need all precincts throughout the country be open 24 hours for one day so voting can fit anyone's schedule.
I thought I heard that only if you were in line after the polls closed you would be allowed to vote.
Bad. Not just a city, a college town - Ohio State. And don't kid yourself that it's a conservative college. The faculty and their families are surely overwhelmingly Dem.
If true we need to get our lawyers out there now.
I saw somewhere that the Repubs knew this was coming and are prepared to counter.
If it Columbus precincts, it is bad! Huge minority and very large gay population.
it's "Bus The Blacks" all over again. You can thank the NAACP for that one.
Jimminy Cricket! Elections have laws and rules! You don't add time to the football game if the other team finally is getting its act together with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter!!! This sort of Bovine Excrement just drives me up the wall.
They are extended for the people in line at the time the polls close. They can't deny someone the right to vote just because we weren't equipped to handle the turnout. I just got back from the precinct I worked in Westerville because Bush-Cheney HQ was concerned that people would become discouraged and go home without voting. They sent anyone that flushed or poll-watched today back to wherever they had worked earlier.
Does anyone have a good site for realtime returns for Ohio? That official site sucks. It doesn't tell you what percentage of the precincts have reported.
Bad, dims filed the lawsuit. You don't want to keep playing if you think you are winning.
Larger turnouts tend to favor Democrats. So it's not good.
this is such crap! this is 2000 all over again.
The Late state calls for Bush are also symptomatic of just what is going on here.
I disagree
Our daughter is an RT in NICU at Children's Hospital. She got in line at 6:10 am for voting to start at 6:30....called work to report she'd be late as there were 300 in line. They told her she had to come in but would let her off early to vote in the evening, and she called me on her way to the polls at 6:30....said she would call when done and has not!!! working people, professionals voting after work....this is a good thing!!!!!
You're being silly...laws are only for Republicans.
