Too close to count in Virginia so let’s change the rules

Rachel Maddow traces the discovery of the missing ballots in Fairfax County, starting with Ben Tribbett’s declaration that it appeared that around 3,000 ballots were missing from District 8.   Ben Tribbett is the blogmeister of NotLarrySabato blog as well as a local democratic.

Early Voting: Last Chance is Saturday October 30

MoonHowler

If you are planning to be out of town or have a long day planned at work on Tuesday, it is possible to go in today or tomorrow to the Voter Registration Office and cast your ballot.  The office is open on Friday until 5 pm.  It is also open on Saturday from 9 – 5 pm.

The only hitch is you have to give your reason and tell where you will be, which is no big deal  I was allowed to list the state where I would be.  It is certainly important to vote and the early voting plan allows this to happen.  You will NOT be able to vote on Monday.
