4. The biggest surprise of all (not): Members of the Forbes 400 (the magazine's list of 400 wealthiest Americans) contributed a record amount of cash
to the presidential campaign, favoring Romney's campaign over Obama's
by 2 to 1. Of course, these amounts pale in comparison to what they,
and others, have given to the SuperPacs, which do not require
identification of donors.
5. Republicans trying to suppress the vote: Chaos in early voting in Florida.
Shortened hours for early voting; waits to vote up to six hours;
people unable to vote; big protests. Hordes of Republican
poll-watchers ready to show up at black-majority precincts in Ohio to
challenge voters, tie up the process, and create huge long-wait lines --
designed to discourage voters.
6. Republicans actually stealing the votes: Ohio's secretary of state has introduced a new, complex form that must be filled out by those casting provisional ballots. If not filled out correctly, their vote won't count,
even if they come later and present their documentation. It's brazen,
it un-American, and they should be called to account for their attempts
to subvert the democratic process.
