The Election Will Not Be Televised

A rising tide of opinion -- both in articles and editorial columns -- says that the Presidential election will not be decided on election day. Too many provisional ballots, too many absentee ballots, too many electronic voting machines that could break down, and too many lawyers.

"But because those [provisional] ballots will have to be considered one by one, there is a real possibility that the outcome of the presidential election will not be known on the morning of Nov. 3 and that it will again turn on court decisions, say election law specialists tracking more than a half-dozen thorny legal issues in the swing states," says the New York Times.

Of course, we've been telling you this for weeks now. But when everyone agrees with us, it's time to reconsider. With Kerry gaining momentum every day and with YOU promising to go to the polls and take ten friends with you, Kerry is going to outperform the polls and win handily by the popular vote and electoral vote and all these problems -- which must be resolved by 2008 -- will be minor hassles instead of president-deciding factors.
