- Gore Vidal calls today the most important election in his lifetime.
- MoveOn has issued a $250,000 reward for any evidence relating to the recent voting fraud.
- Maud Newton has also been updating.
- Exit polls if you want them. But they mean nothing. Nothing!
- Adam Nagourney: “These expectations may well be overheated. Polls over the weekend suggested that the contest was tightening, and some prognosticators on Monday were scaling back their predictions, if ever so slightly.”
- This picture of Glenn Reynolds participating by webcam seems oddly appropriate.
- Hillary Clinton has spent the most out of any midterm campaigner.
Year / 2006
2006 Election Roundup #1
- Associated Press: Reports of voter intimidation in three states. The aforementioned Maryland ballots, FBI complaints in Virginia of phone calls urging people to stay home, and Hispanic voters are being bulled in Arizona.
- More on Maryland: Daily Kos has a sample ballot and reports indicating that Steele’s campaign bused in the homeless to distribute the flyers.
- Virginia: An AP report on the FBI investigation.
- Arizona: Justin Rood’s report.
- So let’s dig into the first two states. As I write this, no counting has begun.
- Indiana: The Fort Wayne News Sentinel is reporting that this is a very large turnout. (And, as a side note, you apparently can’t purchase alcohol until after the polls close in Indiana. Wow, I had no idea.)
- As for Kentucky, the polls have just closed and the Courier-Journal‘s election blog is a good place to start.

Another Possible Explanation for Why Maryland is Fucked Up
From the Maryland State Board of Elections frequently asked Election Day Questions:
Q: Can a bar or packaged goods store serve alcoholic beverages on Election Day?
A: Yes. (Article 2B, Alcoholic Beverages)
Does one have to ask?
What the Hell’s Going On in Maryland?
Now they’re resorting to disseminating false ballots to voters.
