If you live in Manhattan, you may (or may not) know that it's Democratic primary day! There are a few races, but I'm putting in my plug for Cy Vance for Manhattan District Attorney. I am hearing word that turnout around the city is low, so I'd like to encourage voting today, and in particular, voting for Cy for DA. I don't work on - or volunteer with - the Vance campaign, but I do know him personally. He's a brilliant, thoughtful attorney who cares very much about justice and getting it right.

The Mavericky Reformer Palin has stepped in another one today. A complaint alleging that Palin misused her official position was filed with Alaska's Attorney General, reports CBS news: Palin Target of New Ethics Complaint

The complaint against Governor Palin, alleges Misuse of Official Position: "Gov. Palin attempted to and in fact did use her official position for personal gain by securing unwarranted benefits for her daughters..." All the allegations contained in the complaint are related to state reimbursed travel.

The complaint was filed by Frank Gwartney, a retired lineman in Anchorage.

"Palin ran on the platform of ethics, transparency and anti-corruption. I’m tired of the hypocrisy that exists in Government and people need to know the truth," said Gwartney.

I know lots of people have shared on this topic, but I don't care. Tonight I went to cast my absentee vote in downtown Brooklyn for Barack Obama, and I am feeling lighter than air. I quadruple checked the circle to make sure I'd filled it all the way in. I've never been so nervous about voting before and about getting it right!

I had to vote absentee because I am a lawyer who lives in New York, but I am doing election protection in Pennsylvania on election day. The Brooklyn Board of Elections office wasn't the wild early voting scene you've heard about other places, because you have to have a good reason to vote absentee in NY (which is very stupid), so it was mellow. But voting absentee this year made me think about the last year I voted absentee for a presidential election, which was in 2000...
