and so it bigins

fire that destroyed nearly all Harris County's electronic voting machines Friday has election officials scrambling to re-equip the county for an election in which early voting starts in just 51 days.

Even before the pre-dawn fire was out, County Clerk Beverly Kaufman pledged to hold a "timely election" on Nov. 2 but suggested the county may have to run fewer than its planned 739 Election Day polling stations if it cannot find enough machines.

Because she does not know how many machines will be available for each polling location, Kaufman started appealing almost immediately to voters to cast their ballots early to help avoid long lines on Election Day.

Early voting begins Oct. 18.

1. Miraculously, the remaining machines only made their way to Republican strong areas.

Hallelujah.

2. Well that's a start - 49 states to go. nt

5. I feel the same way. Paper ballots nationwide, now THAT'S some real change I can believe in! nt

3. Dem challenger Bill White's stronghold too

Of course GOP thugs in Tx would think that it's a dem conspiracy, but they often project a bit. This would obviously hurt Bill White (the ex-mayor there) much more. Maybe somebody is nervous that White is so close?

As a Texan, I know the game is played in multiple levels here.
Some pretty dark levels.
