day 9 wrap-up
|
Mar 19th, 2008 at 01:26am |
There was no day 8 wrap-up. There was almost none today either, because I don't have much to talk about.
On the off-chance you haven't voted, do it now.
The first day of voting is quiet for everyone but the elections committee. They spend the day whipping the vote, setting up the poll clerks, dealing with bitchy & nervous candidates, and personally contacting everyone at Dal to remind them to vote (or so it seems). Bless their tired little hearts.
What that means, though, is there's not a lot to talk about. The news on MikeSmit.com today was my discussion with a user named "Gregorian" about voter apathy, in the comments on the platforms. Jenny Cooper and AEB offered consolation to the (at minimum) 7 people who will lose Thursday night.
In case you haven't heard, the elections committee is running a survey on how people heard about the election, and how they got informed. "MikeSmit.com" wasn't a possible answer, but I'm hoping for a lot of write-in responses. :)
At 9:38pm tonight, the 1000th voter logged in. The year-over-year trends say we're currently higher than in 2005, and well within reach of 2006 & 2007. With 2 days to go, anything could happen to voter turnout.
So, candidates, relax, there's nothing you can do until Thursday. Everyone else, vote early, vote often.Comments:
