Well look at the states that he won. I never really thought Obama was pulling off South Carolina ;) |

I'm interested in if you didn't vote or aren't voting, what's you're reason? I know somethimes things just happen, but if you could vote this year, why wouldn't you?
They are predicting 80% registered voter turnout this year in LA. Largest ever by quite a bit. I think 2004 was 47%. |

the issue isn't whether or not you faced problems casting your vote in the booth, it's how the data is handled after the fact, how the count can't be verified, the susceptibility of the database and software to manipulation, the political interests of the 3 private companies that make the machines, the felons that work for these companies, the history of fraudulence, the secrecy of how the machines work and also the high cost and low benefit of the entire e-voting system compared to the tried and tested paper ballot... voter fraud has never been easier:

so your county only uses paper balloting? that's what i was referring to. i've seen way more electronic machines than paper ones. interesting. |

| I'm trying not to pay attention to CNN predictions. You can't predict in many of these states until 100% of precincts have reported. |

yep. a lot of counties across america bought into the severely flawed and costly electronic voting system, which is a bit unnerving and unfortunate considering the stakes. this country has the habit of overreacting to crisis. patriot act was an example, so is the hava assumption that electronic voting is somehow better than the paper ballot (just because the florida punch version was proven to be a poor design). |

| Well with Obama taking Ohio that pretty much does it. Cali's 55 is a sure thing. If he gets Florida or Virginia it's over for sure. |

Thats some good looking 3D graphics and animations - specially how the 3D works with the camera moving...
