Why are you referring to people you don't know as mutants?

Well, let's see if there's a perfectly valid reason for the extension:

#    Mahina Nightsage, 41, said she attempted to vote at 10 a.m. but
#    was told by an election judge that she was not registered for
#    that polling place. Nightsage said she arrived at the board's
#    downtown office by 12:30 and by 3:15 p.m. had not yet been able
#    to vote.
#
#    "That is too much of a burden for anyone to exercise their
#    constitutional right to vote," Nightsage said.

Yep. If you couldn't vote, you'd be ballistic about that too.

Gore wins, ha! Tax May's lilly-white ass to the bone!
