Before the election, there was lots of fretting that things could go really badly in Ohio and that the state could end up looking like Florida in 2000.
People said that in 2004, too, and what do you want to bet that they'll say it in 2012?
But Election Day went fine, thank you very much, and, for that, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and the 88 county boards of elections deserve kudos. Even though turnout wasn't as heavy as the predictions suggested, there were lawsuits and directives to respond to and conspiracy theorists to counter. Meanwhile, implementing the change that allowed people to vote early — without having to offer an explanation — put huge new demands on elections officials as they were trying to gear up for Election Day itself.

No different than Dems trying to get rid of the electoral college.
