Good Election News

I was trolling for some good news today after the election so, just for fun, I went to Google and did a search for "good election news", clicked on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button and this is the article I found from The Daily Oakland Press:

Finally, good election news: Young people are registering

Then, I did the same search, only I removed the quotation marks, and typed good election news, clicked on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" again and this is what I found from ABC News:

Bush on Religion and God

The image above was the first search result for "good news" at Google Images. It came from a website called Inside African Art. The mission from their website is:

"Inside African Art is a project run by one person with one thing in mind: The promotion and exposure of original fine arts by African artists."

They state the following on their home page:

"A note from Africa: Please, let us unite our voices and take this opportunity to show the world that we do not want George W. Bush as our leader. Your vote counts."

Funny how one little search brings us such different views.

God Bless.

How Much Does Every Vote Count?


The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Associated Press have put together a nifty site explaining how much each vote does, or doesn't count.

It provides a basic primer in the origins of the Electoral College, explains the differences in the Electoral and popular votes and breaks down the ten or so "battleground states", of which Wisconsin is one of.
