Jonathan Bernstein: “Andrew Sprung notes that Barack Obama’s lead in Ohio went up yesterday from 100,000 to 166,000 votes. Yes, yesterday. Yes, that’s four weeks after the election. If that movement happened to be in the other direction, it would have come awful close to flipping the state…The mechanics of voting right now in the United States are a disaster waiting to happen. Everybody knows it. Barack Obama and Congress simply have no excuse for not acting now before the next very close election blows up on us all.”
