      So the "hanging chads" in Florida, Governed by Jeb Bush, which
      worked in favour of Republicans and George Bush were OK.

      Guess things are getting desperate by the ludicrous Republican
      mud slinging going on. Pathetic hardly covers it lol!

      The Dems will do almost anything?

      Complaints have surfaced in predominantly African-American neighborhoods of Philadelphia where fliers have circulated, warning voters they could be arrested at the polls if they had unpaid parking tickets or if they had criminal convictions.

      Over the weekend in Virginia, bogus fliers with an authentic-looking commonwealth seal said fears of high voter turnout had prompted election officials to hold two elections -- one on Tuesday for Republicans and another on Wednesday for Democrats.

      In Pennsylvania, e-mails appeared linking Democrat Barack Obama to the Holocaust. "Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, Nov. 4," said the electronic message, paid for by an entity calling itself the Republican Federal Committee. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake."

    I don't understand why there is such a long wait to vote. Why don't they open more polling centres?

          That's how it is in my state.

          I have never waited more than a few minutes.

          The last two elections my voting place has been changed without notification.
          Schools and churches are the usual voting places,but it's a shortage of A: machines or B: staff to monitor the voting which causes the wait.
