Slog - Comments on Union County, Indiana http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/union_county_indiana Uh... we're all losing our shit here about the mayor of Gary, Indiana, and all those late returns from Lake County and Democratic machines and blah blah blah. And meanwhile there are still NO RESULTS in from Union County, Indiana. It's the last little dot of white on the NYT map. What the fuck is going on? There are 7,226 people living in Union County. Did no one in Union County vote? Can no one in Union County count?...

Because running a nominee that does well among urban liberals and not rural areas has worked so well in the past two elections.

And Josh - have you ever been to a rural area? They're rural because no one lives there.

Yes, some areas are slow to report. You should see the little old ladies running the polling stations. They've probably got record turnouts and totally swamped systems. It's not exactly surprising.
