It's Election Day, go vote! Or, if you're apathetic about local council races, battles for the sheriff's seat, and pointless referendums (referenda?) on the ballot, celebrate the end of those annoying political commercials. At least until January or so.
In voting news, it seems that we're getting rid of those old metal voting booths with the levers and phasing in a grown-up version of those Scantron tests that every former elementary school student fondly remembers. Apparently, there haven't been any problems so far, but this system seems rather sketchy to me. Last year, I learned from "The Hour" that New York state had the lowest percent of vote miscalculations, because we were the only state still using the old voting machines. (And I wish I could show you the chart here, but I googled to no avail.) So now we have to fill in little bubbles and scan them in.. I can think of any number of ways this could go awry. Let's just hope that no one trips over the power cord.
Hey, I'm sounding more crotchety by the day. Stay tuned for more positive updates, including videos and thoughts on current TV shows that you should be watching but might not have on your must-see list yet.
