Civic Duty Accomplished
Well, nearly so. The ballot is filled out (I love permanent absentee balloting), I just need to take it to the polling place. The ballot is four pages long. Oy gewalt! Now hopefully my ballot will be properly counted. HBO has a special on hacking the vote, which you can view on google video here or in smaller chunks on youtube here. This is an appalling subversion of the democratic process and I think a clear reason why transparent voting is necessary. ATMs can print out a receipt, so we should be able to have voting machines print out a filled out ballot. Period, end of story. Check out the story, but go vote anyway, folks.

i see schwartz won big. i thought most californians hated him.
lamont lost here by 10% of the total vote. very depressing that people voted for joe, who in turn voted not only for the "stay and lose" strategy in iraq but also for hr 6166, the military commissions act. a very sad morning.
The Gubanator pissed off a lot of people because he thought he could rule by edict, which worked for a while, but eventually people said "enough." Now he's been seen trying to make more of an effort to work with the Dems in the Legislature. You could do worse than Schwartzenegger.
Like Lieberman. :-p
