Quote of the Day:

"They don't care that they don't have jobs, they don't want gays to get married."
- Jasmine

Or you tell me why Ohio, where 250,000 people have lost their jobs, is still up in the air and leaning Republican.

Beats me. The quote seems fitting. I can't believe all 11 states passed anti-gay legislation. This country is seriously screwed up somewhere.

I'm just baffled as to what sanctity they're trying to protect in the age of gunshot weddings and a close to 60% divorce rate. Highest in the very states most concerned with maintaining its "integrity," I might add. *sigh*

Oh, I know about the voter fraud cases, and just watched a documentary on the reliability of voting machines. But the thing is, the districts that used paper ballots are the ones with the greatest projected/actual results discrepancies, and it really seems that this election was won by a majority. In any event, unless there's a scandal or the provisional ballots make a huge impact, this is pretty much it. The rest of the country with influence spoke pretty clearly, too. They're not a majority - only 51% of the 60% of the eligible voting public, after all - but they stood up, and in the end, all it takes if for good men to do nothing, which seems is what happened in many cases here.

What frustrates me is this: It shouldn't matter who 'would have won anyway even if there hadn't been any fraud'. The fact that there was fraud in the first place still invalidates the elections. Or, you know, that's what one would expect from a civilized country that cares about due process. And I'm not really ready to give up that expectation either out of politeness or a sense of futility. For my own sanity.
