CHICAGO -- Rafi Zelikowsky skipped class on Tuesday to camp out in downtown Chicago and wait for Barack Obama, the man who captured the hearts of so many young voters. We're feeding off the energy," said Zelikowsky, a 19-year-old Northwestern University student from Los Angeles who arrived at 7:30 a.m. EST to stand in a long line outside the park where supporters awaited Obama's victory address more than 15 hours later. Zelikowsky, who voted for Obama by absentee ballot in California, also spent her previous weekend canvassing for the Illinois senator in rural Iowa.

Although there is agreement that providing voting machines with easy access for the handicapped community is necessary, getting from here to there presents no such unanimity. The problem with HAVA, says [Michael Smith], is that "the legislation has gotten ahead of the technology." With the state only now certifying voting machines as meeting HAVA requirements (for visual disabilities, among others), it's not unthinkable that states, counties and cities could hold June elections that aren't in compliance with federal election law.

They could even have scheduled the vote for a different day of the week.
