It has not been a quiet week in Lake Wobegone.
Native Alaskans are being forced to move from villages to the cities, the troopergate suit heads to court, and Bill Allen took the stand today in the Ted Stevens trial.
There have been several diaries describing the Clarion Fund's distribution of the DVD Obsession. What is the Clarion Fund, who runs it and what can be done?
A few days ago I wrote a diary describing what I felt had to be done to address the problems that will arise in swing states (and maybe not-so-swing) on Election Day.

In recent weeks several diaries have focused on Republican efforts to interfere with voting. Today, I received an e-mail from the Democratic Lawyers' Council describing some of the efforts, and some of the responses.

Two days ago I wrote about Palin's receipt of donations from oil and gas officials in Alaska. Here's a little more about the cast of characters.
Many students choose to vote in the state they attend school. In Montgomery County, Virginia, students have been warned doing so may jeopardize financial aid.
