Sounds like a people problem rather than a system problem.

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only person who didn't understand a word of that.

They'd dam well better be doing more than looking.

I'd be more surprised if (s)he wasn't receiving scam e-mails. The sad thing is that people actually fall for these things.

Actually, he's a troll and knows that you all will respond to him. I'm sure such a cemetery will eventually be built -- it'll be an easy way for Interior politicians to score votes with veterans and veterans groups, and it's something that's actually needed.

It's not surprisingly low. The letter contains a couple of errors. First, Alaska's turnout wasn't that exceptional when you compare it to other states and cities.
New York City, for example, saw voter turnout barely above 2004 levels (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/10/nyregi...). And that's in a city/region with a large black population likely to be influenced by the historic nature of Obama's candidacy.
Second, turnout wasn't that low. When you count all the questioned ballots, absentee ballots, and early votes, state turnout for this election is going to be less than 5,000 votes under 2004's all-time record. It's plainly ludicrous to compare 2004 voter totals -- which include all those categories -- with plain old turnout on Election Day. You're comparing apples to wrenches.
Third, you've got the fact that McCain gave his concession speech a full 40 minutes before Alaska polls closed, which no doubt capped a day of coverage that saw Obama pretty much guaranteed his election as soon as Ohio and Pennsylvania were cast as wins for him.
Yes, we did have the unique nature of Palin's position on the vice presidential ticket and we had some hotly contested local and congressional races -- but I'd argue that those races only kept turnout from being _worse_ than it could have been.
Use your noggin here.

I really think this is the wave of the future. I imagine that it's much, much cheaper to run a UAV than a helicopter for a day to do an aerial survey.

I'm honestly just trying to figure out the best time to start buying stock in these guys ... they'll be on the upswing soon enough. And if they aren't, I won't be around to talk about it.
