In Connecticut, you have to show ID to vote. Most people use their driver's licenses. Most people have driver's licenses, as you pretty much need a car to get anywhere around here. People who don't drive usually have non-driver ID cards if they don't have passports.

The poll workers got very confused with my ID, because I moved within CT last year, and when you move within the state, the DMV just gives you a sticker to put on the back of your license - so the front of my license still shows my old address. But I explained it to them, and I was allowed to vote.

I didn't get a sticker either. I wound up voting after work, so I guess they ran out of stickers.

cnn.com has pretty good election coverage. There's a form where you can enter your zip code and it will list your district's results for Congress, Senate (if applicable), and governor (if applicable).

Lieberman is being projected as the winner of the CT Senate race. Lamont's still very close, though... I guess they're using mainly exit poll data. I hope we don't have to deal with a recount.
