Merry Christmas, Baby

It’s hard to believe there are only three days till Christmas.

I’m spending the holidays in Florida, where only some votes get counted and electronic voting machines lose votes (and here).

In Sarasota County, more than 18,000 votes were lost in the election to fill the congressional seat vacated by former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

After a Floriduh-style recount (and here), Vern Buchanan was declared the winner by 369 votes.

Earlier this week, the putative loser, Christine Jennings, asked Congress to refuse to seat Buchanan (and here).  Others are also calling for a revote (and here).

Yes, it makes me wanna holler but in the spirit of the season, I’ll just wish everyone a joyous and safe holiday.

Merry Christmas (and here). I’ll see you next year.
