I have been collecting a few links as I see them over the past several days. This election is going to be a nightmare. Seeing all these posts, I'm beginning to think that -- well, it could get really bad.
Voter registration has been unbelievable, in record numbers, and heavily favoring Democrats. Lawyers for both sides are in place all over the country. There are already lawsuits and other conflicts. Vote suppression techniques are in play everywhere, and don't forget the riggable electronic voting machines. Further, despite the binky polls, I think we all have a pretty strong sense that Kerry is ahead, which will only intensify the Bush/Cheney efforts to win at any cost. Remember (as some other DUer who I wish I remembered once said), They didn't steal the 2000 election in order to do good.
And they won't stop at much (or anything?) to steal another. We ARE going to have unbelievable chaos this election. I have no idea how long it will last or where it will end, but I'm beginning to think we ALL really need to wrap our heads around a bunch of different scenarios, and make plans accordingly.
Here are the links I've collected, just the ones I happened to notice, just when I was around, and not even visiting GD2004 (feel free to add any I missed):
