I'm certain that Nickels will be as thorough in his investigation as he has been about complying with the Heller ruling. Wait. What?

God damn, voting in D.C. is like voting in a third world country. What a joke this city is. Crackhead criminal baby eater on the city council, Bush-style village idiot in the mayor's seat, what's next? Illegitimate son of Adolf Hitler running for office? ARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!

Ward 2 is still totally f'd up on the BOEE site. The person in front of me at Precinct 21 voted with a Statehood Green ballot - it caused an issue with the optical reader, as one worker explained to another, since there weren't multiple candidates to choose from, and SHG ballots are so rare (hey, that's what she said)...and currently the Official Numbers from Precinct 21 show zero SHG voters. So, uh, yeah...FAIL.

I vote at the Reeves Center, and can confirm it is for Ward 2 voters. I voted at 6:30 last night and I'm pretty sure was ballot number 167 in the defective optical scanner....and here I thought not using the touch screen was the right choice. Can't they just pop the ballots out and actually count them by hand?

A little slice of Palm Beach County comes to D.C.

this, of course, is an artifact of the 24/7 news cycle. if we just had to wait for the paper the next morning, and had to wait for final numbers, this is the kind of thing that never would be made public. i'm not a luddite, i love instant news, but these are the kinds of things you have to expect.

Some of the BOEE folks need to update their resumes mighty fast.
