Tracking Voter Suppression

Polling place shenanigans will be in high gear starting from the opening bell tomorrow. Fortunately, I think enough light has been shed on the problems (specifically in FLA and O-hi-O) that the GOP hired poll thugs will mostly be scurrying for darkness like the roaches they are.

(In fact, a significant victory in the quest to squash GOP voter suppression tactics was gained in Ohio courts overnight. Actually, the ruling has potentially significant national implications - I'm sure there will be more on this development in the next 24 - 36 hours.).

The folks who put together mypollingsite.com have launched a sister site to compile voting problems reported by the media. Blog the Vote, like mypollingsite.com, it a non-partisan watchdog site. Check out the list of over 200 currently reported problems - and the list is growing by the hour.

You might want to bookmark Blog the Vote, and check in frequently tomorrow...
