If Franken-storm Sandy disrupts voting, what then?
Sandy may combine with a Nor'easter making it a huge slow moving storm through the most densely populated area of the US. Suppose there are blackouts for weeks -- what happens on Election Day? Do they move to paper ballots by candlelight? This is a real possibility. Lower voter turnout would affect Obama more than Romney, especially in the northeast.

So, would it be paper ballots by candlelight or what?

An expected increase in gas prices a week before the election would not set well with the peoples.

Philly will be harder hit than west PA, Philly is obama territory, so sandy could influence PA

I agree. However, the actual election day is 10 days away. I would expect most services will be back by then, especially in metro areas. It will impact early voting.billy.pilgrim wrote:Philly will be harder hit than west PA, Philly is obama territory, so sandy could influence PA

Or did you fall for one of those phone calls?

The Weather Channel is saying that power could be out to many areas for a couple of weeks, or more.

NYC just suspended transit service. I'm sure it's a republican conspiracy to suppress early voting.

They've been getting slammed by storms the past few years. Hurricane Irene, that huge storm system that happened back in July (that I had to drive through!), flooding, and now another hurricane.

I grew up along the coast and 99% of the folks are having a good ole time. Back in the day we would be 4 wheelin on the beach on a day like today, Ahh the good ole days. You have the few who get their panties in a wad. The worse are the Rich and Inconsiderate on the beach who wonder why their houses get flooded.
