...Young voters are overwhelmingly opposed to current Bush administration policies, and they are expected to express those views in record numbers on election day, according to a new national poll released by the Institute of Politics (IOP) yesterday in Washington, D.C. The IOP poll, which has a margin of error of +/-3 percent, predicted the highest voter turnout in twenty years for voters between the ages of 18 and 24. Thirty-two percent of the 18 to 24 year olds surveyed said that they will “definitely be voting.” If the IOP?...
...Election Day comes from one source: the National Election Pool (NEP). The NEP is a consortium of six news organizations: the Associated Press, CNN and the news divisions of ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. It was created in 2003, after a previous consortium of the same news organizations, the Voter News Service (VNS), failed to provide accurate exit poll data in both the 2000 and 2002 general elections...

...citizens' initiative in Arizona--which, with 19 measures on its ballot, has more than any other state--would require farmers to give pregnant pigs and calves raised for veal a little more living space. Another aims to pump up voter turnout by setting up a $1 million jackpot for one lucky voter every two years. A Nebraska measure proposes to double funds for treating compulsive gamblers, to $1 million. Voters in Colorado and Nevada will decide whether to make the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana legal, while those in South Dakota vote on whether pot should...
...machines, there is no such thing as a real recount. When asked again for the tally, the computer could spit back the same response as the first time. For that reason, at least 27 states have built in a backup that requires electronic voting machines to provide an attached voter-verified paper trail--a running ticker that allows voters to see on paper that their votes are recorded as cast. That way, if there's a question about the electronic tally, the paper records can be counted by hand...
