Am I crazy? I was given the note that in this phrase "optimal" is not the word I should be using:
"...and identifies any gaps in a corporate body’s records management program that may hinder the optimal use of an Electronic Records Management System."
Maybe I'm tired, but I think that optimal fits there. I am trying to get at the fact that gaps in Records Management program will hinder the use of an ERMS to it's full effect.

Monday isn't so bad for me today. I spent the weekend cleaning and shepherding my kids through Halloween events. It was sort of tiring.
I found a good website about voting information. http://www.canivote.org. It didn't tell anything new, but it's nice to know there aren't any problems since the last local election.
Nice to know with stories like these...
Some voters 'purged' from voter rolls
But about two weeks ago, Berry got disturbing news from local election officials.
"This office has received notification from the state of Georgia indicating that you are not a citizen of the United States and therefore, not eligible to vote," a letter from the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections said.
But Berry is a U.S. citizen, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She has a passport and a birth certificate to prove it.
The letter, which was dated October 2, gave her a week from the time it was dated to prove her citizenship. There was a problem, though -- the letter was postmarked October 9.
From further in the story it sounds like if it comes down to Ohio the election could likely be decided in court.

And I suppose the people purged were registered Democrats?

I don't think it is that nefarious, but it tends to be newly registered voters who are expected to favor Democrats.

Now tagless for your comfort.
In the case of Ohio and Wisconsin, the officials requesting the "no match" lists were Republican. There is a 90 rule about purging voters too close to the election. Any incorrect purges don't have time to get corrected by election day.

Now that we decided on the soup, are there any good recipe recommendation for the leek potato soup, preferably ones who use cream that Yours Truly now tries to add to Everything She Eats?

Anyone purged from the rolls who goes in to vote, who is registered should be allowed to cast a provisional ballot. But the problem with provisionals is that the individual election boards get to decide if they're counted or not.

From what I understand the GOP sued to have about 200,000 registered voters purged in Ohio. They won in the lower court, but lost in the Supreme Court. However, Bush has ordered the DOJ to look into seeing if the 200,000 should cast provisional ballots. So if it comes down to Ohio, expect it to be a long, long time before the election is decided.
