Will Republicans try to hire a Navajo rain dancer to cause a storm on election day?
For every inch-above-average Election Day rainfall in a county, the GOP presidential candidate received a 2.5 percent boost in the polls, according to a 2007 study in The Journal of Politics based on data between the 1948 and 2000 elections.
Case and point: Among registered voters, 28 percent of Obama supporters said bad weather would impact whether they vote, compared with 19 percent of Romney voters, according to a September Weather Channel poll.
Florida — Scattered thunderstorms in battleground Pinellas County. Hillsborough County — home to left-leaning urban Tampa and its battleground counties — could also see stormy skies, with a 60 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms and temperatures in the 70s.
North Carolina — Much of the state — including Democratic stronghold Chapel Hill and its surrounding battleground counties, as well as Charlotte and Asheville — can expect showers and temperatures in the upper 40s to 50s.
Wisconsin — About a 30 percent chance of rain with temperatures in the 40s, including Democratic stronghold Madison, GOP strongholds of Washington and Ozaukee counties and battleground suburban-Milwaukee.

So you support voter ID cards in local elections? That seems to be what you're driving at here.
I'm baffled, I thought I was clear that I don't support voter ID cards.
