ILLINOIZE: Talk it up!

How 'bout some "Hey batter, batter..."

From Eric Zorn's blog:

Illinoize, a group blog, is quieter than I thought it would be

Bill Baar, 7:20 AM: I tried.

I didn't realize Kane and Peoria where the only places totally on electronic machines.

We had a school referendum go down and the precincits most favorable to it had problems with the machines. They ran out of paper for the backup. Long lines started and voters left without voting despite permission to keep the polls open past seven.

It just lost by a handful of votes and these lost voters would have been enough.

So this is Gore's stolen election revenge on Kane County. Expensive technology that didn't peform... would have been better off with chads.
Pat Collins, 7:51 AM: Yes, going away from punches was a HUGE mistake.

And the blog was quiet because everyone was at parties or watching results. Later this week is when the action comes, to figure out what it all means.
