Quickies

Prisoners can vote in Maine and Vermont, the latter (since the 1790s) making an exception for election fraud. Meanwhile, the NYT has a powerful article on how needy people are targeted for credit debt. When they go too far, of course, said companies blame them and push for changes in bankruptcy rules etc. Some years back, this is how many farmers were overextended, albeit slightly differently. Go Rays! [One fateful mistake, one missed opportunity (lots of futility), plenty of great pitching going to waste. Felt like a Mets game.]
