Elections are being held in some 13 states (Arkansas, California, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia<\/strong>) today. Lord help us.<\/p>\n

A reminder how helpful screenshots of election results taken from official websites on election night and in the days following, can potentially be, can be found in our recent exclusive<\/a> on the still unexplained results from the Monroe County, Arkansas, May 18th primary, where thousands of votes “disappeared” in the days after<\/i> the election.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know how to take a screenshot, here’s the quick primer (at least on a PC): While viewing the page in question, hold the ALT<\/i> button and hit the PrtScreen<\/i> button. Then paste the ensuing clipboard graphic into a graphics program, and save with a filename that includes both the date and time the shot was taken. Hopefully someone else can explain how to do that on a Mac in comments.<\/p>\n

Of course, as you hear or read of problems at the polls throughout the day, feel free to email us<\/a> with details and URLs, and we’ll do our best to look into it.<\/p>\n

Of particular interest — even to readers across the country — should be the top item below, concerning Prop 16, and the deceptive way in which a huge corporate power is attempting to deceive voters with the use of millions of dollars to support a phony campaign. <\/p>\n

For that matter, in reviewing the articles below, they each speak to one common element: the outlandish power that money holds, now more than ever, when it comes to our “democracy”…<\/p>\n
