I get TIPs as a daily digest, so I apologize if I'm saying something that's already been said today. If I were teaching Sensation & Perception this fall, I might be enjoying the chance to devote some class time to how the presidential election seems to hinge on a perceptual phenomenon, by which the conflicting cues on the Florida ballot may have led several thousand people to mismark their ballots. I'm not sure one could have a thoughtful classroom discussion of this issue without triggering people to defend whomever they voted for, but it would be fun to try. Just a "psychology is everywhere" kind of thought...
