I'm kicking back in the San Marcos Panera Bread restaurant with its free wi-fi as I kill some time before going into work tonight for the late shift and I came across this gem: A poll worker was arrested Tuesday and charged with assault and interfering with an election for allegedly choking a voter and […]

I won't be doing much analysis of Tuesday's election until probably Thursday at the earliest. I'll be working late Tuesday putting out the Wednesday paper, so you can check all the usual suspects for all the usual commentary. I encourage you to exercise your right to vote.

One of Congress' most useful actions in the past decade was the creation of a national do-no-call list.
