I wondered if it was legal to take photos in a polling place. The poll workers didn't bother to stop me, so I'm assuming it is.

It's 11:30. I can't sleep. Obama has to win. What can I possibly do to help that happen? I'm in Idaho. I've already voted. I've distributed Obama literature. I've painted "Yes We Can" on two of our vehicles. I've knitted my son an Obama sweater. The election is tomorrow. How do we know it won't be stolen? He has to win. I will bake a cake tomorrow. I'm going to wear my Wonder Woman underoos and feel powerful.

Unfortunately soon as PPP won most seats, Mr Zardari is starting to show his real self. His silence on the popular demand for restoration of judiciary is not without significance.

Update .... 19/02/2013
.... Been having a trip down memory lane with this one today after seeing it appear in my stats and oh how much has changed. Somethings are worlds apart these days one being i have now quit smoking and i'm currently vapping mint chocolate so i've succeeded in my dream of a chocy fag.
The biggest difference though is my political-ness. The shock and horror of the voting mess and following betrayal of Lib Dem voters by Nick Clegg got me for the 1st time looking up all the parties and reading up on there history. This lead to me becoming keenly interested in politics and i've joined the Labour party as a result, Really after looking into all the parties they where more suited to my views all along and i love how the party is developing.
Working at the poll on Election Day was very tiring. The day started at 5 in the morning and ended about 7:30 p.m. The job of Judge involves set-up, helping voters all day, breaking down in the evening and accompanying the Site Inspector to the County Courthouse to deliver the voting machine memory chips and paper prints.
We were very busy all day long with barely time for restroom visits. My fitbit recorded just over 10,000 steps (about 5 miles).

A paramilitary jawan (junior solider) deploys with an automatic gun to secure a free, fair and peaceful election process at a sensitive booth in the Diamond Harbour constituency in West Bengal, India. Indian elections are the world's largest exercises in democracy, with over 11 million government personnel involved in the implementation of the vote.
The public awareness campaign for the forthcoming elections is continuing in Jalalabad in Nangarhar province and in the surrounding districts.
One man carrying out the huge awareness programme is Mohammad Gharanay, 54, one of the Civic Educators of the Independent Election Commission.
At one of his recent presentations he met more than 400 prisoners at Nangarhar prison.
“I am satisfied with my work because many of our people really need information on the election. On the other hand I meet different peoples with different political views which help me to better know our society,” said Mr Mohammad Gharany.
From colleagues Mr Gharanay receives much praise.
“He organized more than thirty public gatherings in the different parts of Jalalabad city, such as markets, governmental and non-governmental organizations’ offices, parks, a sports stadium and more,” said Ruhullah Mumand a Civic Educator Officer.
Sahil is one of the prisoners who participated at the prison outreach session.
“I was not sure that the Independent Election Commission will give a chance to prisoners to participate in the election but today’s programme assured us that we, like other Afghans, may participate in the presidential and provincial council elections,” said Mr Sahil.
“The members of parliament and provincial councils should have an advanced university degree and experience in social work with the community, so that they can perform their job successfully,” added Sahil.
A total of 100 civic educators organized into 50 groups, including female groups, are working in Nangarhar province.
There are eight groups in Jalalabad city and 42 groups in the 22 districts.
According to Abdullah Safar, the Administration and Finance Assistant for the Independent Election Commission in Nangarhar, the civic education process will take place in two steps – general information on the election (which is already going on) – and technical information on the voting process and casting ballot papers which is planned to be launched in the run up to the Election Day.
