I'm excited, my blood is excited, my fingers are tingling. I'm watching the early coverage and people are pouring out to the polls. The nation is voting. It's good. I dare hope.
I'm off to the newsroom, where I will be all night long whether or not I'm working, because WHO THE HELL would want to be anywhere else today (except, you know, with the candidates).
The hope, the hope is taking over. Eyes crossed and fingers typing, nerves in a knot and prayers for my country. See you all after the polls close.
I'd love to watch this election in a newsroom. Wow.
I'm running around to everyone's weblog posting these two things:
If you have any problems at the polls call 1-866-OUR-VOTE. It's the Election Protection 2004 hotline run by PFAW and endorsed by several, several civil rights groups. They can dispatch legal advisors to your polls or give you "voter support" over the phone as well as take an incident report.
Incident reports can be seen here: http://maps.voteprotect.org
And if you run across any mention of voting incidents today online in weblogs, livejournals, chat roms, message boards, mailing lists and the like.....make a report to http://voteproblem.org and be sure to include the URL to the mention in the description.
This info needs to go out to friends, family, peers, and co-workers. Spread the word!
Have a great day Melissa! I hope you get a chance to post some updates!

Word, BK, Word.
The newsroom is quiet right now. We're all pretending things aren't going to erupt later. DUDE I'm SO EXCITED.
I am SO nervous.
I will weep so many tears if Bush is reelected. :-(
Keep posting updates, Melissa! I enjoy your writing and humor.

~~Alida aka Jade Moon. off to the polls
Well, either way, one of us is going to be threatening to flee the country before the night is out. :o)
HOPEFULLY before the night is out...
Well, if you must flee the country, Australia is a great place!
... although it was terrifying to hear George W. refer to *our* Prime Minister "The Wise Mr Howard" *shudder* He's like an overactive puppy whenever he's dealing with leaders from overseas. It's embarrassing. He was so eager to "go and Play" that he commited thousands of troops to the war in Iraq!

Aussie here too! Just want our guys back home as soon as possible!
