DEDICATION

A tidbit of an amazing day:

At the Earle Brown Elementary School in Brooklyn Center, where about 130 people voted per hour through the morning, one woman got to skip to the front because she was in labor, election judge Nancy Carlson said. “Two minutes labor and she’s still in line to vote,” Carlson said. Once the woman cast her ballot, she was put into a wheelchair and wheeled away, Carlson said.

God bless America.

FROM FLORIDA: “You want anecdotal evidence? Greetings from ground zero here in Broward County, Florida. All you see at the polls are long lines of black, brown, tan, jewish, gay, female and young people. The lines look like a Bette Midler concert audience, circa 1980. On every corner, there’s a college kid waving a “Honk for Kerry” sign. The kids don’t want to be drafted. The parents and grandparents don’t want the kids to be drafted. The gays want privacy in their bedrooms. Republican voter suppression tactics have energized the supposedly suppressed. Everyone’s getting even for the perceived injustice of 2000.”
