So I thought maybe I should turn on the TV and see if there were any election results available. I clicked over to CNN and Lou Dobbs was on. Literally the first words I heard were a question from Dobbs about whether the fact that there were 180,000 absentee ballots cast in New Jersey meant there was some kind of “skullduggery” going on. First panelist says, hey, who knows? Maybe. Second guy says let’s not jump to conclusions. Finally the third guy reminds us that New Jersey has a new law this year making it easier to apply for an absentee ballot. Uh huh.
So within 60 seconds of turning on the TV my head hurt. I know, I know, I could have chosen some other channel. But still. Jesus.
