		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m waiting for numbers. As in how my Portland precinct voted in the presidential election. Only county-by-county totals are available, though I know Barack Obama&#8217;s tally will be staggering. During the campaign, I saw only one John McCain sign in the neighborhood, and it was homemade. Obama signs, including this one in my yard, spread [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four years ago on Election Day, I saw the face of voter intimidation. It belonged to a tall thick-chested man standing outside the elections office in Portland. He glowered at the people waiting in line, looking them over head to toe. He was among Republicans dispatched to &#8220;protect&#8221; us against voter fraud. Of course there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No presidential election has consumed my life like this one. And it will soon be over, creating an emotional and intellectual gap that I&#8217;m not sure how I&#8217;ll fill. What will I read about incessantly? What will I talk about with family and friends? All signs point to Barack Obama winning. Unless something momentous happens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading this account of programming errors plaguing touchscreen voting machines in Ohio, can anyone have any confidence in a free and fair election? Too bad the story doesn&#8217;t detail if there&#8217;s any pattern to the dropped votes. For example, how do they correlate to the party registration of voters whose ballots aren&#8217;t counted? And [...]]]></description>
