I couldn't find registered voter stat, only eligible stat.
1/3 is total populace that voted. Children, immigrants, etc.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

population : 301 million
Those eligible to vote: 213 million
Votes: 120 million
All heavily rounded numbers. And votes are still being count.
(gosh, I hope my Gronk numbers estimate were close, seeing how we got some math whizzes in here)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is there an automatic re-count for when the margin is below a certain percentage?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
According to the LA country registrar prop 8 passed by a .9% margin, 20,806 votes.
Laga, that has to be just for the county, right? Because statewide, it won bigger:
Yes 5,163,908 52.0%
No 4,760,336 48.0%
That was with 95% of precincts reporting.

Trust my rage
I heard on NPR this morning that 77% of eligible voters voted in my home state of Minnesota.

Seattle had two major street parties going last night, one on Broadway - the main street of Capital Hill, the young/gay district, and one on Pike which connects Capital Hill to Downtown.
Awwww. My smile just lighted up, because hey, I KNOW THESE PLACES. I landed in Seattle in the beginning of August 2007 and loved it, very very much. One of my top 3 places in that travel (the others were Portland and Los Angeles. NYC would probably make the list if I would stay there longer, but it still had the best food I ate on this travel).

And oh wow, Buffistas~ma sure is powerful. I can now move my upper lip more (still not 100% - more like 60%, with pain on some of those %), but hey, now I can see the stitches! Thank you guys. Only 22 more hours to go!

Great article on Michelle Obama from the London Times [link]
Favorite quote:
In the last American election, the big question was this: who would you most want to share a beer with? In this one, it was more like: who would you like to share a Martini with? The answer of course being Michelle. (Barack could maybe make himself useful by popping out for some crisps.)
