The Third Edition of Election Diary Rescue is coming to a Front Page near you at 10:00 PM Tuesday night.
As our fearless leader, sidninny, posted the other day, the third edition of Election Diary Rescue is coming to a Front Page near you at 10:00 PM tuesday night.
The EDR series attempts to capture every diary, every day, that is written about a specific race or ballot initiative. Our team of highly trained professional diary treasure miners works hard day and night to make sure we don't miss a single diary. They then organize and send the list to the editors who cross the t's and send the list onto The Boss who works the real magic of bringing you the daily Election Diary Rescue.
NEW!!
In 2006 and 2008, we collected diaries every day from noon to noon. The list was then generated, edited and sent for final publication for later in the evening. Though it was practical, it often confused and left out diarists who wrote diaries in the afternoon hoping to see their work referenced in the nightly EDR.
Well that's changing this year with EDR 3.0. The new window for collecting diaries will be 6:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The 24 hour collection window will be closer to real time which we hope will make our diarists happy.
Make sure you don't get missed!
Please include something like this in the title of your diary:
(NC-11) Heather Shuler walks tight rope between Blue Doggery and Tea Baggery
(NC-Sen) Elaine Marshall is going to make Richard Burr cry like a little girl
Also, maybe add EDR (Election Diary Rescue) to your tags
EDR offers diarists the opportunity of being linked on the Front Page everyday. Please take advantage of us! We have some elections to win. Your diaries help.

As I write this, our mighty miners are hard at work, digging out election diaries and saving them from the horrible fate of scrolling. Put us to work. Write a diary. Help save the country.
