It's 3 a.m. In Ohio And PEOPLE ARE STILL VOTING!



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Yep, ABC News just reported at 3 in the morning that people are still lined up and voting in at least TWO precincts in Ohio -- including predominantly college students at one polling area. With cell phones and portable cameras, it's startling to me that we weren't seeing LIVE FOOTAGE of people lined up and voting in the most hotly contested state in the country, but there you are.

Ohio is STILL casting ballots and there are provisional ballots AND overseas ballots AND absentee ballots. I am disconsolate at this moment that it was even close, much less that Kerry is trailing in the popular vote. But is it too much to ask that we count every vote or at least wait until people have stopped voting in Ohio before calling it a day?

Laughably, a Republican lackey just insisted that it was outrageous that Kerry's people wanted to wait until all the votes were counted and claimed the Democrats were gonna try all sorts of legal wrangling and that the American people want their leaders chosen by voters and not by activist judges. Amen, brother, but where the hell were you in 2000?
