#1 You know what? I'm burned out. I've been through the seething, the fretting, the arguing with moonbat relatives. Now I'm just going to go in, vote, and sit back and watch the fun. If this country wants to vote for ~~suicide~~ Kerry, go for it. But I'm just going to lay back and enjoy the fireworkes.

#2 What oh what will we ever do? How did the US ever have uninterrupted electons for over 200 years?

2 million for 300,000 polling places? Sounds like a case of government overstaffing to me. Heck Mickey D's serves more people with less staff, and they even feed you.

#3 For perspective, the entire active US Army is around 500k, before our 'esteemed' members of Congress got around this year to hiking the number up another 25k. It was at 750k at the end of the first Gulf War.

Simple solution, fewer voting locations with longer lines and further delays in the getting the numbers tallied for the instant news reports. God only knows how Americans coped with slow returns prior to the invention of television. It's not like the President takes office on Thanksgiving.
