A quick search of Google News and a couple other websites revealed that this isn't being given all that much importance. It's probably because A.) Kerry doesn't have much of a change of winning in Ohio and B.) The major media outlets don't care about third parties.
That said, I agree with the many who said this is a worthwhile endeavor to see how well elections proceeded this time around.
I have no idea how long the data will stay on a USB flash drive, or how many times you can write to one. I put my USB flash drive through the washer and dryer on accident. The drive contained my master's thesis in it. When I connected the drive to a computer, I discovered that not a single bit of data was corrupted. Doesn't that rock!
I enjoyed the whole of the Battle Circle trilogy including Neq the Sword. Even before Neq slays Var, it is hinted that he is a little quick to use his sword, and this causes him to make the epochal mistake of his life. I feel I connected with Neq because I've certainly felt like I've screwed up royally at several points in my life. I certainly don't think that this plot line was a mistake at all.
I've been an avid fan of the Xanth series, and I've been noticing a change in how they have been written. Reading the author's comments in the older books, I noticed that you tended to discourage readers from sending in puns and various ideas, but the later books in the series are literally strung together with readers' suggestions. This isn't neccesarily a bad thing, because some of their ideas are pretty good, but I imagine that it must be annoying that there is nothing you can do the stem the tide. Does the sheer volume of fans' suggestions ever get to you? Does it irritate you that even when you have asked people to stop or at least slow down, it has only increased the amount of suggestions?

You also demonstrate how crass people can be when they can behind anonymity.
