6. November, 2000 - One day until the electile dysfunction
- Time for a bit of a redesign. I realized that a month of links and commentary
was getting big enough that the navigation links were way down at the
bottom. Hopefully this is a little better. And it makes for a narrower column of
text, which is easier to read. I hope.
- Jesse Ventura says to vote your heart, conscience. In the election
in 1998, 61.4% of Minnesota's eligible voters went to the polls,
compared to 36% in the rest of the country. 15.8% of Minnesotans
registered on election day, and almost all of them voted for Jesse.
That's why third parties have a chance.
- Why I'm 'wasting' my vote. I'm still waffling between Browne and
Philips, but if it looks close in MN, I might end up voting for the
Shrub. Then again, I keep remembering Jesse saying I wasted
the Democrats and Republicans with wasted votes.
- R. U. Sirius of The Revolution wants you to write him in for President
and MOCK THE VOTE!
Not only do write-in votes gum up the system, it's a pretty good
statement if you can't find anyone better to vote for. If you're
planning on not voting, maybe this is the excuse you need to get to
the polls.
- Huge menu for US voters is a pretty funny piece by a BBC reporter
about the US elections.
- Ballot tampering in Arizona to make sure a voter initiative to phase
out all personal and corporate income taxes in Arizona over the next
four years didn't make it onto the ballot.
- Absentee Votes May Delay Result in California, which could (if things
end up being really close) delay a result for the whole election, perhaps
until December 5.
