There is some sweetness in the fact that Maverick County, Texas, voted 78.2% in favour of Obama.

The story of how the word “maverick” came to be is an interesting one, if you haven’t already read about it.

In other news, my voting in the NZ elections was a complete fail.  I initially sent in my vote with Bishy, who was going into New Zealand House to vote in person.  But then realised the next day I had forgotten to fill out the witness section box when someone mentioned the word “witness”.  Duh.  Went into town, talked to the election people, but it was their opinion that my first vote will have been thrown out as being incomplete, and my second vote will be thrown out as being a duplicate.  Argh.  Voted again anyway.

Perhaps if you hold the politically opposite views to mine, you would be so good as to just skip voting this year?  kthx.
