Price Per Vote

September 21st, 2006 · 23 Comments

With the primary almost over and the absentee votes being counted and counted again, we are almost in general season.

What a Day!

September 13th, 2006 · 63 Comments

I love elections. What a suspenseful ride it has been. With absentee ballots being counted today and provisional ballots being counted tomorrow and more absentee ballots on the 20th we are a few days away from knowing the real winners. The only race I can see that might still be undecided is [...]
