New Item 1: My sister e:mailed me from the great State of CA, that their news has reported a poll worker in Volusia County, Flordia forgot to turn in a batch of ballots on election night, took them home [presumably] and brought them in the next day.

The appellate court overturned that ruling and ruled that the results could be determined statistically and gave the mayoral position to the opposing candidate.
