This is darn funny:

I've got a bad feeling this afternoon about the elections. Perhaps things will go well. But things like this give me no comfort:

Cry me a river. When this happened to Democrats in 2004, it was the source of laughter from Republicans. I agree that it is a disgrace. But it was a disgrace long ago.

    art in this comment.

    The Red State folks are all bumming about PA-4;  apparently they think the electronic machines are switching Republican votes to Democratic.

    And they're whining about how we won't know how this turned out until Thanksgiving at the earliest.

    Right.

    troubles in NYC, as recited here?

    I kinda doubt it.

    I was just trolling around the comments thread (more looking for turnout stories than anything else) and, well, you know.

    I'll be dropping out presently.

    Seems like the video has been removed from Google.  Anyone have a transcript?  I'm curious as to the content.....

    refusal-to-seat tactic? (none / 0) (#7)

    am i remembering right that the house of reps has the right [and of course the duty :)]

    to refuse to seat a member if there is some "irregularity" in a particular congressional district's voting procedures?

    could this happen with a NEW congress?

    seems unlikely, but ...

    anybody got a handle on this.

    it was done in the mid-80s to someone from Indiana - the Repub was the recipient of the dirty end of the stick.  I think the House had hearings and investigations and may have even done a recount.  But, it's been 20 years since then and all I remember is what I just wrote.
