Monday morning thoughts

So now it’s November, whatever that all may mean. Only two weeks until my birthday, and I don’t really know what I should be doing to celebrate. I guess that right now I’m mainly dwelling on the question of what’s going to happen tomorrow in the election.
I was really discouraged hearing a short piece on voter disenfranchisement on the radio this morning. Apparently people have been distributing false flyers in various places telling people that they have to bring proof that they’ve paid parking tickets and various other things to the polls with them. Somewhere else, people were being told that the polls were going to be staying open an extra day because of the high expected voter turn-out; Republicans were supposed to vote on Tuesday and Democrats on Wednesday. The story is at Democracy Now. It’s the first story listed on their headlines for today.

Score one for democracy, I guess…
