Panel to certify election results

The Knox County Election Commission will meet next Monday to tell us what we already know: Obama is still president. The meeting, which is perfunctory, starts at 4 p.m. (which means we're getting out by 5 p.m. cause no one wants to stay late on a Monday) in the Small Assembly Room of the ol' Deathstar.

The agenda looks kind of slack. As I said this is standard stuff. They commission will certify the results of the Nov. 6 election and consider appeals for rejected voter registration forms. The panel also will set aside some time for a public forum.
