ProPublica Launches Vote Watch Site

Paul Kiel, who used to work with talkingpointsmemo.com and has moved over to ProPublica.org has set up a Vote Watch site that puts together local information about how the polls are faring, efforts to suppress, and methods of countering suppression from across the country. It's worth keeping track of the tactics to see the patterns and to get angry enough to make sure that in the future, elections are no longer supervised by political hacks who can be manipulated by political party operatives. Didn't we learn our lesson when we watched Katherine Harris in Florida in 2000.

ProPublica.org also has a listing of the bail out amounts for each of the banks invited to that meeting Henry Paulson had when he essentially told each of the CEOs that he had an offer they couldn't refuse: money, taxpayer money to be exact. Don't be fooled, those figures are in millions of dollars!
