LA Times article:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up to his Brentwood neighborhood polling station today to cast his ballot in the special election — and was told he had already voted.
Elections officials said a Los Angeles County poll worker had entered Schwarzenegger's name into an electronic voting touch screen station in Pasadena on Oct. 25. The worker, who was not identified, was testing the voting machine in preparation for early voting that began the next day.
Aside from the obvious embarrassment in screwing up the big photo-op vote of the day, one has to wonder... if they already had Arnie down as having voted, how do we know the test vote wasn't counted?
And while we haven't heard back from the Dover ID trial yet, the results for the Dover School Board are in... and it looks like a sweeping defeat for the IDers :-)
