Guess this is one way to get on the voter registration list....

Sunday's voting occurred with only one known incident of violence. Five Palestinian men burst into election offices, firing guns into the air and saying they were upset that some of their relatives' names were left off voter registration lists in the West Bank, preventing them from participating.

Turnout was so heavy that Palestinian election officials extended voting by two hours. Baha al Bakri, a spokesman for the Palestinian Central Election Commission, said polls would close at 2 p.m. EST, two hours later than originally scheduled, to accommodate a flood of voters and because of confusion at Jerusalem polls.

1. Even Palestine
is having better elections than we are.

Hint to US: look to Ukraine and Palestine!

3. Well, I've been ALMOST that upset at the reports from around
the country here, most especially in battleground states.

It's certainly not something I advocate, but it's not that I can't sorta understand it.
