Orange County authorities are launching an investigation into possible voter registration fraud after a local newspaper reported over a hundred cases of voters being tricked into registering as Republicans by petitioners who asked them to sign petitions for, among other causes, legalizing pot.
...
In a lengthy investigation published earlier this month, the paper pointed to an $8 "bounty" offered by the California Republican Party for each new registration as a cause for the problems. It identified multiple petitioners who work for vendors "with ties to the California Republican Party." Back in 2006, a similar scandal led to the convictions of several petitioners.
It's like ACORN for assholes!
OT – watching the new “V” TV series? If so, good/bad/eh? Was hoping it was as good an improvement on the original as BSG.
yep.
i didn’t watch much of the original – just a couple of episodes here and there.
the new one isn’t bad. i don’t hate it. it’s got that easy-to-digest big-budget network sci-fi thing going on, though. not exactly the most challenging/stimulating thing on TV.
Not excited by the V re-vamp. I was an impressionable teen when the original aired and Diana had a … big effect on me.
And it’s Juliet! From Lost! Too soon baby.

totally. Lost isn’t even (officially) over!
It’s the UK election tomorrow and it’s so close that … shock … it’s actually quite exciting! And, if we’re lucky, it could lead to electoral reform (fingers crossed.)
However, some tabloids are pulling out all the stops to get the Conservatives re-elected (warning: NSFW):

Vote Tory! Or these tits will be banned!
It’s 2:40AM and I’m still glued to the TV and Internet. Still too close to call – it’s all over the place at the moment.
still?
i thought it was over hours ago. i guess that was exit polls, tho.
