This photo was taken at 11am, right after I cast my vote here in the Democratic stronghold of San Mateo County, Northern California. As I sit here staring at the electoral vote map, it seems longer than 12 hours since that moment.

It's not over yet. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but we will probably have to contest Ohio, and god knows where else, in the courts. That won't bring back the voter registrations thrown away by scads all over the country, voters turned away at the polls, votes evaporated by Diebold machines.

Win or lose, the Bush administration is going to keep doing away with democracy.
