>>>>>Our local NPR stations (yeah, I listen to it, but just to remind myself how biased they are) carried a story that there were fliers being distributed somewhere that said that due to the expected large turnout of voters that Republicans should vote on Tuesday and Democrats on Wednesday.

Hey, I had a wink and smile on mine ;-) I do get a kick out of it when somebody says efforts to keep schizophrenics, felons or the obviously deranged or intoxicated from voting (god knows we need their input) unfairly targets a particular community or political party. Irony seems the first victim of partisanship {g}

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
