Voting

Both the Dakotas, Montana and Washington became states on the same day in 1889.  Our "sister" state's race for governor keeps getting attention.  Polipundit:

WA Republicans have identified at least 240 felons who voted in the election. In addition, at least 44 people who died, before absentee ballots were mailed, ended up voting anyway.  That puts Democrat Christine Gregoire’s “victory” margin of 129 votes, after three recounts, in a new light. 

To the East, note this from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Citing a Journal Sentinel review that found more than 1,200 votes cast from invalid addresses in Milwaukee, local and federal law enforcement officials launched a joint investigation Wednesday into potential voter fraud in the Nov. 2 election.

Such problems were the target of that vote yesterday in the SD House of Representatives.
