Voting Scams and Home Alone with the Munchies!

Today is election day! Yes, it's special election day in Louisiana. The most important thing on the ballot today was Amendment #1. There has been a push by conservative "family" groups to add an amendment to the constitution banning same sex marriage. Equality Louisiana and others have been fighting to keep this ridiculous bit of discrimination off the ballot, but judges ruled it could go forward today. Here in democratic voting liberal New Orleans (well, democratic voting and liberal compared to the rest of the state) voters were met with a surprise when they showed up to polling places that had no voting booths. The story hasn't been covered by a state wide news service as of yet, so this could be a state wide problem. I certainly hope that it's not happening here because our city is more likely to vote AGAINST the amendment. Louisiana politics, you gotta love our state.

In other news, Guess who went to jail today? Macaulay Caulkin!
