Yeah, yeah. I’m just sad that I can’t vote AGAINST “Tombstone” Burris.

The old Chicago adage "vote often" takes on new meaning Tuesday — instead of voting once for U.S. Senate, voters will weigh in twice.

It’s all legit. The quirk is wrapped up in the drawn-out drama associated with the Senate seat that Barack Obama vacated after he was elected president in 2008.

The short of it is that a federal judge ordered a special election to fill the remaining roughly 40 days of Obama’s Senate term. In the interests of time, that special election is being held at the same time voters pick a new U.S. senator for a regular six-year term.

Election officials are bracing for the confusion.
