Okay, so. Forgive me, but while I am not at all talking about fraud, the idea that there will be no complaints or problems at polling is ludicrous. I realize it's not you who's saying that, but the media *spits in salons general direction* but it's irking me something fierce. Shit happens. It happened with paper ballots. It happens with the mechanical kind. PA's had the same type of ballots for almost seventy years, we had the lowest rate of malfunction or complaint in the fifty states, and that number was never 0. Low, yes. 0? Never. Expecting it is asinine and the better focus of attention should be what do we do if things happen, because it will. Things break. People make mistakes. Life happens.

And again, I know, this isn't you or anything you've said, it's just you touched on the issue so you get my rantiness, sorry :)

That said -- that is *awesome* news. I haven't heard from Dad yet (he works polls for the county) but I know there was a serious run this morning. The telling stuff will be in the afternoons, when it always trickles down to nothing.
