Every day until the election, we'll be posting a round up of the day's related stories. These will include articles from NowPublic members and staff, as well as many other sources.
NP'er Pankaj Kumar has a story about election time being only one day away:
USA is looking forward towards the new regim who bring them out from crisis.
NowPublic member digitalshaman wrote up a story about the early voting in Florida, one of the key voting states:
This is a series of photos of the long, very patient line of early voters in Northeast Miami-Dade County ... Specifically the Aventura Government Center ... (Some of the panoramic images are for VR/360-type photos that are being developed ...)Similar wait times were experienced all over South Florida.
Along with the presidential election, states and many cities are having elections. NP member Can Tran posted about how the 'magic 60' is unlikely to happen for the Democrats:
In preparation towards US Election Day 2008 on November 4, the Democrats are bracing themselves for a major victory in the US Congress. At the same time, the Republicans are bracing themselves for a major loss in the US Congress. In regards to the US Senate races, the Democrats are aiming for the “Magic 60.”
Should the Democrats get the Magic 60, they would get a much stronger majority in the US Senate. While the Democrats scored victories back in 2006, those victories were marginal at best.
NP founder mtippett is hoping we can help crowdsource this election and keeping track of any fraud or election issues. You can also check out videothevote.com, which is showing how votes have been switching:
Here is an opportunity for us to crowdsource this election. We should all be watching this closely.

I know when I voted, I didn't fully understand, but after I voted, I realized that I had made a decision that didn't support a strong America. When I voted, I realized I voted for someone who would "do it for me" where I don't have to be responsible for myself. After I made that decision, I now know that I didn't make a decision based on creating a strong and independent minded America.
I want a candidate in office that will support me being self reliant, an entrepreneur. This is the idea that this country was founded on. This country is not about having the government being responsible for you, its about being entrepreneurial in nature and having that self reliant spirit. Imagine a country where everyone expected someone else to be responsible for them? I don't agree with everything McCain does, and how he campaigned, but he does know a little bit more about what it means to have that entrepreneurial spirit. And that is what this country needs right now, just a little bit more of that. So if you haven't voted yet, vote for the candidate who will support us in being responsible for ourselves. The health of this country does depend on it.
