Good morning, Washington. Get ready for another windy day, with some clouds and a high of 55 degrees. In news that should instill confidence in everyone planning to vote in Virginia on Nov. 7, a computer glitch has already been found in the electronic ballots that are to be used. It only affects the summary page and not the actual voting, or so election officials say. Senate candidate Jim Webb will appear in the summary page as “James H. ‘Jim'”, sans last name. Yeah, like that isn’t confusing or anything. Apparently the glitch happens once the voter tries to increase font size…so, avoid trying actually to read the ballot and stick with the small print. Don’t worry, the problem should be fixed by…next fall.

More New Neighborhood Names: NBC 4 reports that the Southeast Waterfront development next to Navy Yard will be called “The Yards”. Well, that doesn’t sound too bad, though folks worry that there might be confusion with Camden Yards. The story also mentions two other new names, namely NoMa and Soflo, each of them representing North of Mass. Ave and South of Florida Ave., respectively. Now, as nicknames, things like AdMo are okay for Adams Morgan. But Soflo on a permanent basis?

Gandhi Scolds Council on Parking: District CFO Natwar M. Gandhi has delivered a strongly worded, 8-page letter to the D.C. City Council warning that they must make a decision regarding a parking plan for the new stadium, and fast. Tell us something we don’t know. And in case you were wondering why we keep following this seemingly ridiculous story, this is a pretty good summary:

If the city cannot reach a decision on how to provide the required parking spaces at the Nationals new stadium, the city may have to raise taxes on big businesses and it could make it harder for the city to borrow money for big ticket projects, such as school improvements.

Ahem.

Briefly Noted: Some protesters at Gallaudet take over main building on campus, continue to block entrance…PG County schools work to turn themselves around…Gifford’s Ice Cream makes a return to the District…

This Day in DCist: In 2004, we kicked off our Halloween coverage and looked at who got props for being the best blog. In 2005, we pondered DC residents’ possible hatred of car shares.
