Heather Wilson and an attorney for the state Republican Party this morning said at least two heavily Republican precincts in the Northeast Heights received only a fraction of the paper ballots needed, a move they called a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise GOP voters.A spokesman for the Secretary of State's Office said it appeared to be a numerical error in which a zero was dropped. Two precincts that should have received 1,500 and 1,700 ballots, respectively, instead got 150 and 170."The (Bernalillo) county clerk should have checked it when they accepted the order," said Ray Baray of the Secretary... |

Be nice to your poll workers, because:
There were 10 reasons listed, most of which I don't remember. One was: "We're old and we gave up our nap for this". Another one was: "This might be you someday". Another was: "If you're really good, we'll give you a sticker".
Unless MI has a well-funded, and well-known R, Levin will stay in the Senate. He and his brother are institutions and tonight Sander's son Andy is looking to win a State Senate seat -even though until recently he worked in DC and didn't actually own a house here. But he's a Levin and people believe that he can pull it out.
The guy who ran against Levin last time was great, but he didn't have a cash advantage or was well-known outside Party circles. If they put up the same type of candidate, they are going to lose again. Getting the seat from Stabenow will be our best chance for a while, unless they get a GREAT CANDIDATE who has already won state-wide for the GOP.
Schlesinger seems like a great candidate and it was just painful to watch because he seemed to be the smartest guy up on stage, yet you knew he didn't really have a chance against Lamont and Libermann. I hope that he runs again for something.
Yes!!!! It's been raining all day. Since about 7am....
Usually I'm not that happy when the weather's like this, but today it has me in a great mood!
Prediction in the House and Senate now:
HOUSE - GOP 229, DEM 206
SENATE - GOP 56, DEM 42, IND 2
I agree except for Minnesota. That banner from Irak hit home with a lot of people from Minnesota.
Thanks for the great tidbit! I'll have to share it with my friends at the victory party I'm going to later!
I sure hope you're right. However, from what I'm seeing on the news right now ... it looks BAD. Of course ... it looked awful at this time on the first Tuesday in November, 2004.
