Early Voting in Indiana given the OK in the blue parts of the state!!

A Lake County, Ind., judge has ordered election officials to immediately open satellite early voting centers in Gary, Hammond and East Chicago.



Lake Circuit Judge Lorenzo Arredondo today sided with Democrats and two unions in ordering the in-person absentee voting sites in the three urban centers near Chicago.

Republican members of Lake County's election board had opposed the satellite centers, saying they would increase the chance of vote fraud in the Nov. 4 election.

It's unclear whether a separate court hearing that was scheduled for this afternoon will go forward. Superior Court Judge Calvin Hawkins had scheduled a hearing on a temporary restraining order barring the centers from opening, but Arredondo consolidated the case in Hawkins court with the one in his own.

This is a victory for the campaign. The Obama campaign was running shuttles twice a day so people wouldn't have to spend gas money to go to vote early in the red part of the state.

It's vote fraud! *collects huge Diebold paycheck*

Oh, cry me a river!

This is rich when 'cons talk about election fraud after the past 8 years.

I'm in the south. The schools are closed on Election Day (as are the bars until the evening -- gotta get the drunks to the polls!) and part of me wants to take my five-year-old with me, on Election Day, for the man I think will become the first African American president of this country.

The momentousness of this for our nation, and for my child, is keeping me from voting now. My husband is voting tomorrow, I think.

Edited because I'm an idiot.

The best thing about early voting is that you can volunteer on election day more easily.

I mean just early :)
