The red flags are already flying for voters at America’s polling places. We’re hearing warnings about what could go wrong at polling places tomorrow, and speculation about voter fraud and misinformation.

McCain blames the community group ACORN for "maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history," by registering nonexistent voters. Democrats say voters are being deliberately left off rolls. With memories of contested elections in 2000 and accusations in 2004 persisting in 2008, we called Katy Chevigny to help us sort out the allegations and find out what we might expect to see tomorrow - including "disenfranchisment by typo," in which new voter-registration databases fail to match names because they weren’t properly entered.

Chevigny directed Election Day, a documentary about problems at polling places in 2004. In the film, we see people waiting for hours in line, while at polling places not that far away, there were no lines. We also see a polling location that had run out of paper ballots, and where people were asked to vote provisionally, meaning the ballots wouldn’t be counted for weeks. She’s here to give us an update on what’s changed, and what hasn’t. For example, we’ve learned that the residents of Broward County, Florida, have recently received misleading robocalls telling them that they can vote by phone on Election Day.

The results of tomorrow’s presidential election won’t just dominate headlines here in the United States on Wednesday. The entire world is watching to see who will take over the reigns of the presidency. Countries around the globe are keeping a close eye on the race here. According to one poll, Japanese citizens are showing more interest in the race than Americans.

Such international interest led the folks at Global Voices Online – the website that tracks international blogs – set up its Voices Without Votes project, a partnership with Reuters News Service. It keeps tabs on what writers around the world are saying about the U.S. elections. Jillian York writes for Voices Without Votes, and she joins Word of Mouth with more on how the world is viewing this election.

We also hear from a Macedonian journalist covering the U.S. race for Channel 77, a commercial radio network. Reporter Biljana Lajmanovska works out of the capital of Skopje, and she’s been filing stories from our New Hampshire studios for the past week. She joins us in the studio with her impressions so far of the race here in the States.
