Tomorrow could be interesting.

We have a very contentious election, coupled with a set of polls that point to an overwhelming upset for the current party, past electoral hijinks, and what may be the highest voter turnout in our nation’s history.

Ed Felten has put forth some ideas of what might go wrong. I’m going to tell my boss that I could possibly be late tomorrow, depending on what the polling place looks like, but dammit, I’m voting, period.

Here in New York, we still use lever machines (and we are the only state to be doing so). People seem to vest a lot of undue confidence in these machines, so let’s hope they are right to do so.

Anyway, go vote. I will join Henry Rollins in telling you that I won’t tell you who to vote for, or who I am voting for (I’ll tell you later if you want to know), but go vote.
