...Ask Coloradan Shari Rogoff Moraga. She and her Chilean-born husband, Rodrigo, have been happily married for more than six years, but have always made it a point to get out of town regularly sans partner. "My most favorite trips without Rodrigo are the ones I have taken to Mexico for Día de Los Muertos," she says, in reference to the holiday that Mexicans spend paying respect to friends and relatives who have died. The annual trip has become a spiritual pilgrimage of sorts for Rogoff Moraga: "It is something I will never give up and would...

The effort became a moral and political calamity. Over a decade 13,000 Soviet...
...This is what democracy comes to. It's sloppy and human. Just like asking a kid to count two dozen cupcakes. If you ask human beings to count 2.9 million ballots - even if those human beings are Minnesotans - you're going to get a slightly different number every time. Envelopes whose contents were counted the first night are lost. Absentee ballots that were never counted turn up. Some people get their votes invalidated by accident. The 133 missing ballots, from example, were in an envelope from the not-exactly-shenanigans-prone University Lutheran Church of Hope in Minneapolis that...
