Are people still planning to vote in New Jersey and other Sandy affected regions?

Like we don't need to worry about Pres. Obama losing those states simply because people don't go to vote?

Obviously a very low chance but I just need some reassurance haha

My cousin, whose house was flooded out at the Jersey Shore, voted today at the County Clerks office. My mom is voting tomorrow. People are determined.

Christie's untrackable, unverifiable, unauditable "vote by E-Mail" scheme is going to steal our state's election.

Depends upon who's E-mailing fake ballots, or cooking the numbers, and where they're doing it.

At least with electronic voting machines you get signs like 300 voters signed the register, but 600 votes registered, and things like that. E-mail eliminates even that one safeguard.

does significantly impact voter turnout, there is absolutely no way that it will just impact the Democratic voters. I could see considerable drops in the overall vote total, but there is no reason for it to actually change the percentages.
