These are the BEST election posters I have ever seen. They are the only posters (with the muppets) that speak the truth. Ireland has been ridden up the hole over the last few years. Perhaps even for a decade. We need to reform not alone our government and how they operate/regulate but we also need to give our bankers/developers and a few others a very, very swift kick up the arse before we crumble.

Tomorrow elections will be held in Germany. Apart from the federal elections in Hessen there will also be elections for the state parliament in Hessen. All parties have to get at least 5 percent of the vote to be represented in parliament. For smaller parties like the Freie Wähler (Independent Voters) that's often a problem.

Voters in line before 8 a.m. at Marcy Open School in Minneapolis, Election Day, 2008. The line goes around the corner before entering the building, probably 300 people. There are four portapotties on site, a phenomenon never before seen at this polling place, which is on the fringes of the University of Minnesota campus.

Note the really un-informative policy statements that can be read when viewed large, in Japanese or see notes. The one top left, rolling up his sleeve (for reasons which will become clear) is best. The only politician to make concrete policy statements on this election poster is the middle left, liberal democratic party representative. This seems to suggest to me that either voters are voting upon their impression of the face of the representative, on the party (and party politics is very unpopular at the moment), or that voters are voting upon some criteria that is not being expressed. This may be the the block special interest vote.
What kind of election posters exist eslewhere? Oh, it seems that they are little different.

This is Rafael. He is # 31 in my 100 Strangers project. We recently had an election here in California and I went to go do my civic duty, albeit with very little enthusiasm. I brought my camera and asked the head election official if I could take a few photos whilst I voted. She said yes. Rafael wondered why I would want to do that so in answer, I asked him to be one of my strangers. I asked him why he was an election official and he said he wanted to give back and help out in some way. He was a neat guy and made the voting process less boring for me, though they said this particular election day was verrrrrrry slow. Apparently, I was not the only one who was not very enthusiastic about the election.

It's a beautiful sunny day, about 65 degrees here in King of Prussia and after weeks of intense campaigning by both democratic candidates, people get a chance to cast their vote. There has been a jump in voter registration throughout the state. Over 30,000 newly registered voters in Montgomery County alone.
Here in King of Prussia, Jim Ruddy, the Judge of election says there has not been any technical problems with their two voting machines. Although he admits roughly about 8 people registered as independents have been turned away. The Pennsylvania primaries are closed primaries and voters can only vote if they are affiliated to a party. So far about 384 people have cast their vote. Jim says he expects at least 75 more voters before the polls close at 8pm.
"The flow has been steady" says Erika Spott, Upper Merion Township Supervisor, referring to people stopping in to cast their vote.
