In case you thought this election went off without a hitch, read about how difficult the GOP made it for first-time voters in New Hampshire.

Hey, if you want your candidate to win, make it happen on the basis of his/her virtues, not dirty tricks.

Just because they don't speak English doesn't mean they're not informed. Even here in Kansas we have a lot of Spanish-only TV stations that report on U.S. news items. There's always SAP on the TV that will translate from English to Spanish for you. There's no reason someone who speaks Spanish (as was the case here) is ill-informed just because of the language they speak.

As for waiting until Election Day, some people work the second or third shift. Some people maybe didn't know they could vote, or hadn't made up their minds to, or had moved recently. There's numerous reasons.

And just because someone registered early doesn't mean they're informed, let alone more informed than someone who registered late. That doesn't correlate.
