    Not necessarily on subject (I'm not from pennsylvania) but why aren't voting days on week ends, especially on sundays?

    it makes no sense... all the ridiculous holidays we have and these days arent even mentioned to some... the only thing i can think of.. is... if there was too big a turn out... than anyone could win.. and we can't have people who dont watch tv who arent influenced to vote for who they are told to vote for at tthe polls come election day... too much of a shake up.. someone might win fairly

    Good luck with that, you have to go to 3 different stores to buy different versions of legal products.... in PA.

    I have no idea why voting isn't on the weekend.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    considering 100,000,000 million people voted in 2004 on the normal election day of tuesday... and the fact that there has been a record # of votes in the democratic primaries... and the fact that there will be a record # of primary voters voting today in pennsylvania... that pretty much squashes any conspiracy about the day used for elections...

    not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy :rolleyes:

    I just want Obama to keep it within 5-7 points. That would be a moral victory.

    As a registered independent, I won't be participating today, but it will be interesting to see what Hillary's margin of victory will be.

    no system is perfect. because it's not mandatory people are going to vote or not going to vote. but my state has mail-in ballots which i think is a good way to try and solve that problem. our ballots are sent out may 2 and they are due may 20.
