Early Voting: Good Job, Iowa!

Early state-by-state voting numbers are available at this link. For Iowa, we have already had nearly 340,000 votes cast this year. In 2004, there were a total of 1,521,966 votes cast, which means we've already seen over 20% of the 2004 total voting in the early polls! That is awesome, and again speaks to the likelihood that the numbers will likely be even higher than 2004 when the dust settles. Out of the early numbers, registered Democrats make up 48.9% of the votes, and registered Republicans make up 28.5 (the 22.7% are independent). That does NOT mean that Obama has 49% of the vote in the early polls! There was TV ad put together by some Hollywood heavyweights that, regardless of the political leanings they may espouse, delivers a message we should all support: every vote counts. Don't let yourself be[...]
Polling Data: To What End?

Polling Data: To What End?

The biggest fraud in this election appears to be the use of polling numbers to disorient and discourage (mostly) Republican voters. How many times have you heard three or four different sets of polling results in for the same state in the same time period? Keep an eye on the organizations providing the information. I doubt that any partisan organization is going to avoid showing numbers favorable to their candidate, but the largely liberal media is clearly having a heyday pushing numbers that just don't add up. Even this week here in Iowa, polling supposedly puts Obama 12 to 13 points ahead of McCain. So why was Obama planning to come to Iowa this week? (that[...]
Go Vote Now!

Go Vote Now!

If my experience tonight is any indication, we are in for record participation at the polls this year. Originally I thought to wait until Election Day, but personal matters have made it possible that I may be called out of town and miss the opportunity to vote. Two years ago, I voted early. At that time, one would go to the library, enter a small office, fill out an absentee ballot, and you're done. No wait, no pain. Fast forward to today. I voted early once again. And again I went to the library. I stood in line behind about 20 people. At the front of the line was a table with two poll workers each helping two people at a time fill out the forms for their absentee ballots. You could register here, although you needed[...]
Voting Fraud: Risks Of An Open Society

Voting Fraud: Risks Of An Open Society

The Supreme Court today backed the petition of the Ohio Secretary of State's position that they did not need to verify the records of about 200,000 new voters this years whose ID information did not match government records. That's more than 25% of the new voter registrations in Ohio. Although it's a fairly partisan confrontation, it highlights something that is becoming more endemic across our fruited plane: in our attempts to ensure that people are able to exercise their right to vote, we are becoming more and more at risk of exposing a larger segment of ballots to fraud. The problem extends beyond just the sublime attempts to[...]

Deciding How To Vote in November

I was subjected to scenes of Barack and Hillary playing nice with each other on stage at a rally in Unity, New Hampshire.  It was a bit over the top. I don’t know what the real content (if any) of their speeches consisted of, and the newscasts simply showed...
