SPRINGFIELD -- The Secretary of State's voter database has been out all Election Day, according to a spokeswoman for the office.
The database, required by federal law, keeps track of all voters information and is normally accessed by both voters and county clerks on Election Day to verify voting registration, status, and polling places.
"The database itself is fine. We're having issues allowing Internet access to it," said Laura Egerdal, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, a Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Republican Roy Blunt.

2. You don't really expect the elections to be legal, do you? They are at it again as usual

The republicans have not won a race legally and ethically in a hundred years. They win by lying about the facts, making up crap about their opponents that the rethugs actually condone for themselves every day, obstructing the polls and manipulating the software on e-voting machines. Not to mention their redistricting tactics. Wake up, America. Vote on a paper ballot and report any unusual circumstances regarding polling places and access.

3. I'm still dumbfounded as to how Eisenhower beat Stevenson in '56

They must have stolen it with e-voting machines. I though for sure Stevenson had it in the bag. :sarcasm:
