Monitoring the U.S. Elections Online?

shahman wonders: "I'll be on the road all day this election day, so the only access I'll have is through my PDA/Phone. I was wondering if any Slashdot readers know of WAP-enabled services or low-bandwidth sites that are providing (semi) real-time election coverage?" Nobbin has a similar, but less bandwidth-restrictive question: "I was wondering where I could find live results for the coming U.S. election, online. I live in Australia so I can't get them through watching CNN and so forth. I'm looking for something similar to the Austalian Electoral Commission's virtual tally room. So far, Google hasn't turned up much."

If you live in Australia, you are probably more interested in the Melbourne Cup, held every First Tuesday of November - I've just blogged about it - and the winner.

Odds-on favorite, Makybe Diva (11-4) from Great Britain, ridden by G Boss, won the Melbourne Cup for the second time.

Aided by a perfect ride from Glen Boss, who also rode her to victory in last year's Cup, Makybe Diva proved too strong for Irish raider and topweight Vinnie Roe with outsider Zazzman third.

Given that one incubent has held her cup, it might not be too far a stretch to reckon that Mr Bush's odds just improved. Per Instapundit, the Electronic Markets have Mr Bush winning by a nose

Ahem...

If anything, twitter is the type of person that should not be part of the open source/free software community... We can get rid of this guy and make Slashdot a better place.

I consider /. an open discussion/forum, (feel free to correct me mods!), and therefore, everybody can voice their opinions. (As long as it's not abusive!)

Plus, just so you know, I'd give him points because at least he's man enough to be identified while voicing his opinions. And that my dear friend, is why people who are afraid to post likewise are listed as "Anonymous Coward's".

The main reason why I'm replying here is because I happen to disagree with what you advocate here, is concept of simply getting rid of someone because you don't like something about either their spelling, thier posting style, the way they look (or even smell!), or even thier opinion itself. All of which, in IMHO, are just the wrong reasons to remove someone. A good reason to remove someone is if they are being abusive, and you haven't proven that with your post.

Instead, all you've proven here is that you can't handle an opposing opinion without becoming antagonistic...
