There's a WaPost story (linked here in San Jose Mercury News--it's where I came across it) about the Administration having an increased police presence at polling sites.  The extended entry has a long quote from the article, but the short is hundreds of FBI are being sent to do "overt" surveillance of people on watch lists, widespread interviews, and heightened security at polling places.

So this is a big Catch-22 for me--the FBI need to do their job, but these watch lists have been shown to be pretty inaccurate.  It also sounds too much like the voter intimidation stories we've been hearing in places like Philadelphia.  Somehow I don't think there's going to be a lot of police presence at suburban Texas polling sites.

The Seattle PI's top front page story today was on the wildly disparate polling numbers for the Presidential race.  It's attributed to Bill Straub of the Scripps Howard News Service.  They primarily focus on a thesis of the electorate being very volatile this year and the varying poll numbers being due to the timing of the poll.  At the very end they do address the weighting issue, but fail to list party ID of voters in the last few elections.  They address the likely voter/registered voter issue in a very cursory manner.  I'd like some pointers to research for a letter to the editor.
