As they say in Chicago...

Vote early, and vote often. This NYT article highlights yet another troubling aspect of our democracy at work.

This year, because of a scheduled business trip, I will be voting absentee for the first time. I am somewhat troubled by the sorry state of affairs that is our election process. Granted, Smirk trails Kerry by a margin of 26% according to the latest statewide polls in Massachusetts, but every vote counts and there's no way that I would miss the opportunity to send aWol back to Crawford.

Still, between the absentee balloting fraud and the significant role that electronic voting will play in this years elections, I am quite concerned that we are headed for a crisis, and worse yet, one which neither party seems interested in fixing.
