Josh has a great letter up from a friend in Florida who is helping elderly and people without transporation get to the polls. Stories of people waiting in line for over 5 hours just to caste their one vote. If you are feeling down from all the bad stuff going on, all the negative influences, it's worth a read. Really.

Here's the money quote:
The best of all was an 80 year old African American man who said to me: "When I first started I wasn't even allowed to vote. Then, when I did, they was trying to intimidate me. But now I see all these folks here to make sure that my vote counts. This is the first time in my life that I feel like when I cast my vote it's actually gonna be heard."
Very cool.
