Milwaukee voters to get performances at polls
MILWAUKEE -- Some Milwaukee voters will get to see more than just poll workers on Tuesday.
They will get music, dance and video performances as well recorded sound, puppetry, interactive sculpture, and poetry at 12 polling places throughout the city.
A nonprofit, nonpartisan group called My Vote Performs is producing the program, which the group says is the first of its kind in the nation.
Artists will create 5 to 10 minute pieces that will be presented every 20 to 30 minutes during the busiest polling hours of 4 to 8 p.m.
The organizers say the performances won't interfere with voting and will encourage discussion about citizenship.

Nothing keeps a Republican away from the polls like the threat of performance art.

Google........'Tis the season for tricking voters
My computer usage is apparently only twice as good as John McCain's.

From what I read, the "Dirty Tricks Republicanss" have already been giving people the old song and dance even before they go to the polls.
