Correct on virtually all points & good work, Minnesota Guest. Terrific turnout, too. You guys really know how to vote. (Well. At least WHERE to vote...)("The voters of Nebraska will continue to vote Dry as long as they can stagger to the polls." - some wit)

The FEC is indeed God in the elections biz. I wish people could get it straight about the VAP; but alas. / I'm a 25-year (old-fart) elections officer for the State of CT. Our results will be officially certified in late November, probably around Thanksgiving; so you'll have to wait for more than Alabamy. We (and other states too) will have official corrections coming in for another week or so. Speed is the Enemy of Accuracy. If it weren't for good old American instant-gratification impatience, most of the incorrectly-perceived "problems" with election results would disappear. // "Flor-i-DA! Flor-i-DA!"

"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and the echo answered, "Fraud!"
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
