Create a Political Election Page

As I write this the 2008 US Presidential election looms closely on the horizon. This is my main reason for writing this at this time, but I made it more broad so you can use these ideas for any kind of election page you may be creating, either now or in the future. Presidents are not the only people elected to office and so this was written to be relevant for any election you may be interested in writing about.

palegray.net writes "Voting machines in several critical swing states are causing major problems for voters.

How long can we afford to trust our elections to black box voting practices? From the article: 'In Colorado, 20,000 left polling places without voting in 2006 because of crashed computer registration machines and long lines. And this election day, Colorado will have another new registration system.'"
