<nettime> our election has a hint of the global

[molly hankwitz <mollybh@pop.netspace.net.au>]

The results of the election have a hint of the global about them...as one of
the factors yet to determine the true count in this close race is news that the
numerous absentee ballots from overseas populations, especially military
personnel, are still to be tallied. There seems to be some significance to this
detail.

A potential outcome may also be, the replacement of some State's worn-out
mechanical voting machines which have been inaccurate and difficult to use (NY
Times reported arcane equipment ) with better, computerized systems for casting
ballots.  Just a thought.
