CHICAGO - Could voting for president be hazardous to your health?

An analysis of Election Day traffic deaths dating back to Jimmy Carter's 1976 win suggests yes, but the authors say that's no reason not to go to the polls.

The study found that on average, 24 more people died in car crashes during voting hours on presidential election days than on other October and November Tuesdays. That amounts to an 18 percent increased risk of death. And compared with non-election days, an additional 800 people suffered disabling injuries.
Vote and die. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26959100/)

Democrats will be too busy slashing tires to get into any accidents.

Pray for rain too.  By the way, is there any truth to the rain rumor?

I don't know about voting, but people do NOT go shopping when it rains.
