More Reason to Vote By Mail

Tom Ridge announces "credible evidence" that Al Queda is planning attacks to disrupt the election. Now here in Oregon I feel pretty damned safe - one benefit of having a vote-by-mail election. No polling places in convenient carbomb range. So why isn't the administration encouraging people in other states to sign up for absentee ballots (and avoid the polls all together?) Oh yeah, 'cuz then they wouldn't get to send their vote into the great cybervoid of the newfangled Diebold machines.....
