Nov 2, 2004, 2:45 PM, Election Day –

If you want a pleasant voting experience, move to East Hampton, New York. No lines. Easy parking. Pleasant people working inside. Clean voting machines. The whole thing took 10 minutes.

On my way over, I tuned into Rush Limbaugh to see what he had to say. He was doing a lot of hand holding, so that most of his listeners would not commit suicide should Kerry win. Of course, you know he would love Kerry to win. That would leave him as the sole support of his millions of listeners for the next four years. True excellence in broadcasting.

Voter turnout remains strong. Good for Kerry? Good for Bush? Who are these people and where have them been? Could they be younger people worried about a draft? Could they be angry voters who were disenfranchised four years ago? Could they be dead people being helped to the polls by well meaning volunteers? Who knows?

Funny thing is that most of the problems at the polls today are occurring at the battleground states, particularly Ohio. What an extraordinary coincidence. Some people have been trying to vote at the nearest ATM machine, causing a run on cash in the area.

The Supreme Court is bracing itself for the possibility that someone may try to file another case today that it will to refuse to hear. Word is that the refusal order is signed and ready to go, just waiting to insert a plaintiff’s name.
