They have run out of ballots in Missouri
They have had double the turn out than they expected and have run out of ballots. People are starting to panic with only fifteen minutes left til the polls close. They have started to make copies of ballots for the people but the scanners won't read the copies. So a person will have to transcribe every copied ballot onto proper ballots before they can be counted. :wtf:

1. Only in a part of Missouri--in some "red" parts
according to MSNBC.

6. Joplin Area
They just said on the local new it's down around Joplin, MO. RED country. This is the same area of MO where the fabulous Precious Moments Chapel is located. You know the place...the dreaded dead baby angel infested worship joint. I've seen it and it's just hideous.

2. Misery, by any other name . . .
So, which party controls the administration of elections? Our secretary of state does that in Illinois.

DOUBLE the turn out.

YEEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!

My uncle in Bourbon said that it seemed the area was real strong for Claire. Man, I will personally pin down Sean Hannity and kiss him FULL ON THE MOUTH if Claire wins and Ammendment 2 and Prop B pass, just to piss him off : )

Funny that they are running out of ballots. I know we had a choice of paper ballots scanned into some optiscan thing or the Diebold machines, and plenty of people said no to the Diebold. Gee, if more people would have just accepted Diebolds judgement, probably wouldn't have run out of ballots...

I'm not going to be getting any sleep anytime soon.

OH! If you are IN LINE WHEN THE POLLS CLOSE, YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO VOTE. DO NOT BE DISENFRANCHISED!
