Lots of voting fun if you live in Colorado!

First, Sequoia Systems was supposed to print and mail 18,000 absentee ballots for Denver County. They confirmed to the county that the ballots were mailed.

They weren't.

Then the Colorado Secretary of State continues to purge names from the voter's rolls after a judge orders him to stop.

But just so Colorado doesn't feel all alone, a woman in Alabama has a Georgia electronic voting machine delivered to her driveway.

Now, technically, doesn't that mean that she now owns the machine?

Honestly, the voting system used on "American Idol" has more integrity than this. It will be interesting to see how long the line is tomorrow night when I bother to show up. If it's longer than a hour, I probably won't bother to vote. I'm not naive enough to believe the "one vote can matter" line of b.s.

The fact that Mexico is sending election monitors to the United States says a lot about what's happened to our election system in the last decade. Fortunately, for at least two states, this will be the last electronic voting machine election that they will have: they're going back to paper ballots. We never left them here in NM, I don't know about AZ. I'll be seeing my parents Wednesday, have to find out what kind of machines they used and how it went there (assuming my mom is working the election tomorrow.)
