Watched HBO’s Recount last night with my wife and sister-in-law, and thought about blogging on it.

Basically, it’s too painful to write about. Of course, there was no realistic recourse for the parts like 20,000 non-felons purged from the voting rolls – oh, who just so happened to be likely big D Democratic voters.

Several times we just groaned. Paused the DVR and talked about what should have been done. Started watching again.

Interesting facts about your neighbors.
