A note today from my son in Tallahassee...

----------------------

Today's local Tallahassee news:

1.  Last night Michael Moore spoke in Tallahassee, "the scene of the 
crime." Large turn-out.  International media descended upon Tallahassee 
last night (saw them coming home).

2.  Poll challengers established themselves, apparently Fla law allows 
for persons registered in precinct to "challenge" other voters on the 
pretext of making sure they are supposed to be in that precinct, are not 
felons, etc.

3.  On-going concerns about lack of paper trail for touch screen voting 
in several Fla counties.  Presents serious problems if recount is needed.

#2 might prove interesting if the election is too close.  You might hear 
"Hey, Challenge this!" if the poll challengers were active in the Boston 
area.
