I voted absentee last week, using the spiffy touch screen machines.
We've had the computerized push button machines for several years now - why? Because our old commisioner of elections struck an illegal deal with a voting booth company. Gotta love crooked LA politics! It keeps po-dunk Louisiana with some nice technology years ahead of other places.
Speaking of commissioner of elections, I voted for the woman who is currently in office, and is running for U.S. Senate. Gotta get Landrieu outa there - she keeps spending more and more of my money, and the state still has nothing to show for it. She's just riding on her daddy's name (he was mayor of New Orleans).
I was sad about the outcome of the New Orleans DA race. The results were 52/48. I think the guy who won (who is our former US Attorney) is super crooked, and wears a stupid hat (seriously, he wears a derby hat ALL THE TIME.) Plus, I think the woman who was running would have done a great job to crack down on crime. She was serious about it - her sister was murdered in NOLA and she is raising her sister's child because of it. It was personal for her.
