Josh Marshall reports on Ohio:
In Ohio, the GOP is pulling out all the stops, frankly, to steal it in the courts, trying to get courts to stop voting for people who were already in line when the polls closed, ruling against provisional ballots, the whole nine yards. It's wall to wall ugly.
...Republicans make a lot about letting the people decide elections and not lawyers. But that's not how it's turning out tonight. Across the east and into the midwest, they're hitting the courts at every opportunity, trying to cut off as many opportunities to vote as possible.

They've also filed suit in Pennsylvania over absentee ballots.

Bush is slightly ahead with 50% to Kerry's 49%
I can't believe it's as close as it is nationwide. Maybe I didn't want to believe we are the country the rest of the world thinks we are.
At any rate, I'm mostly watching Starz movie channel. Groundhog Day. How appropriate is that scheduling?!
