It's Not Super Tuesday Everywhere

Note to voters: Make sure your state is one of the 24 holding nominating contests today before you head out to the polls.

Milwaukee resident Ethel Goodwin set her alarm this morning so she would be near the front of the line at her local polling station. When she arrived at 6:30 a.m., there were several other people already waiting for polls to open.

One problem: Wisconsin's primary contests are on Feb. 19.

"We were listening to the news and they were saying that Super Tuesday, and all the state, I figured that included Wisconsin," said Goodwin. "Probably, I just misunderstood."

UPDATE: In all fairness to Ms. Goodwin, she's apparently not alone. (Hat tip: Wonkette)
