Those reporting how @GeorgeHWBush will vote this year, it’s not clear anyone was there to verify KKT. Still checking, keep your powder dry.

In other news in the national reality TV show known as the race for president, new polling seems friendlier to Clinton than some recent numbers.

UPDATE: Looks like the story is holding up.
