I sent in my ballot last week. There were a Namor and Boba Fett stamp on it. I think it was well protected on its way to the magical vote counting land.

There are a ton of amazing stories pouring into the Slog. It is awesome to have that on my Google Reader. Here is an example of one:

"Hi Eli,

I'm an education volunteer in a rural area of southern Malawi.

Throughout this election - during the primary and the general - almost everyone here in the village of Namitembo has been paying close attention to Obama's progress. Often times, when I go out for a morning walk, I'll hear the latest election news from a teacher, one of my students, the local tailor, or one of the many, many subsistence farmers that lives around here. Just this morning, a shoesmith from the nearby trading centre stopped me to ask if I thought Obama could win McCain's home state of Arizona.

I filled out my ballot in the 7th grade classroom where I teach part-time, and all the students (along with the headmaster and a teacher from the class next door) huddled around to watch. The BBC World Service will be issuing regular updates on the radio as the polls close tonight; I know quite a few people here who'll be staying up late to listen.

--John"

I really recommend going through and reading them, they're really heartening - http://slog.thestranger.com/

I'll post more later, I'm sure.
