Yep Twig this will be our first female Governor. She leads the race 52 to 46. I didn't see how many precincts were in. But she is the projected winner. I just have to say YAY! one more time, hope y'all don't mine. :)

CNN projected Nebraska results:
Governor Mike Johanns (R) wins re-election

All three incumbent Rebublican Representatives win re-election Bereuter, Terry, and Osborn (famous long time coach of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football team).

And in the Senate incumbent Chuck Hagel (R) returns. (I would have liked to have crossed the river and voted for him myself. I really have a lot of respect for this man.)

CNN.com projects Tom Harkin (D) re-elected to the Senate in Iowa over challenger Greg Ganske (R) current Congressional Representative from my district.

Looks like the incumbent Democratic govenor Tom Vilsack will be re-elected in spite of the dismal economy.

Romney did a great job with the Olympics...pulling it out of the scandals and getting it organized. He'll do well.

Looks like Coleman (R) Minnesota won in his election over Mondale. I can't beleive it was as close as it was, Mondale was a last minute replacement for the now deceased Wellstone.

Polenty (R) also won for govener.

The Insider
November 8, 2002
Nannygate

Speak Spanish? Know someone who does? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of El Latino, the Spanish-language weekly that is a member of the Arkansas Times family.

This week's issue will include an exclusive interview with the Mexican woman who became an issue in the final hours of the race for U.S. Senate. She once worked as domestic help for Attorney General Mark Pryor. Republicans raised questions about whether she was a legal alien and whether Pryor had been required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes as her employer. Pryor said there'd been no wrongdoing.

The woman now tells El Latino editor Michel Leidermann that she was indeed an illegal worker when employed by Pryor for about six months in 1999 and that she told his wife this at the time. She also says she made $70 a day for a day of work a week or more for six months, which could mean she earned enough to have required small tax payments by the Pryors. She says she was encouraged by Pryor in-laws to sign a statement absolving Pryor and that she did so because she was unnerved by being the center of controversy.

Expect to hear more about this. In English

Isn't that why Chavez had to step down?

Thanks, Hillbilly, for the update from the Arkansas Supreme Court. Glad to see they aren't as dumb or corrupt as the Florida Supreme Court. Course in Florida, they let them start voting this year on the previous Friday.

Maybe it's about time we had a national system that stated how long polls should be open and when the cutoff is to count ballots, etc. We can't keep making the rules up as we go along. That's not fair to the people not in that state and it might put a dent in voting fraud.

How many people on this board would be for fingerprints for voters? I'd like to here the pros and cons of that.

Moderator, I'm assuming it's okay to discuss things now, since the election is over? If not, please let me know.

Actually, they've mentioned the idea before of having a 24 hour window for folks to vote. You could vote anytime in that 24 hour period. That way you could vote around your work schedule.

I've been finger printed 2-3 times already, I don't see what one more time would hurt.
