Whoa...Governor Cumo just passed and is signing into law today an Historic Executive Order that New Yorkers can vote in ANY polling place in the state, just not the races they aren't registered to vote for. Usually, you can only vote in the place you are assigned to. He said compared to last week this will be a walk in the park.

This is going to be a historic and incredibly weird election people. If you are outside the US and watching...this has never happened before in our nation's history to my knowledge.

Awesome. Though I hope for your sake this won't lead to a repeat of Florida in 2000, with the results being contested in courts for weeks afterwards...

Good luck tomorrow.

There's actually four states that we're worried about being a repeat of 2000. The early voting and provisional voting going on in Florida, Ohio and PA is at question right now.
Also there's last minute voter suppression laws being fought over in Ohio.

This in addition to Sandy. Nasty election. And over-hyped. I've been trying to ignore it to remain sane.

I keep telling myself doesn't matter that much who wins, we'll have the same stupid congress in either event.
