The Big Day

How does it feel to be America's Sweetheart? If you lived at the very heart of The Big Swing State, you would know that feeling today! Everybody loves us, everybody wants us, everybody needs us! I turned on CNN early this morning, and not only my state but my very county was the hot topic. Those of you whose votes don't really count this year (hello, New York!) don't have to deal with all of this, but here, we got issues. There is a big controversy over challenging voters' legitimacy, and apparently there has been a ruling that poll monitors (mostly Republican) are allowed to hover over the voting tables, determining who they think may not be valid voters and ordering the poll workers to . . . I don't know, interrogate them? Strip search? And by the way, for those of you who don't speak GOP pollster, "questionable voters" = "African Americans." God bless democracy.

I'm off to vote myself, and then I'll be driving people to the polls. Will check back in later.
