"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

"Besieged by Chaos"

The Palm Beach Post is reporting widespread chaos at early voting sites:

Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles, president of the state elections supervisors association, wrote Bush on Friday that his office had been "bombarded with phone calls, e-mails and correspondence from the voters because of the harassment they are enduring" at early voting sites at public libraries.

Likewise, LePore said her staff has frayed nerves as a result of being verbally and physically abused. One worker wearing her identification badge around her neck was throttled by an irate person "who tried to choke her with it."

"They're just ugly to staff, ugly to voters and everybody else," LePore said of some of the campaigners. "It's absolutely disgusting."
