[quote=Mattyk72;497788]Seriously, how can anyone be surprised with the huge turnout today? There needs to be some serious voting reform in the near future, you would think after the mess in 2000 this would have been addressed already. Some places uses machines, others use paper, hanging chads, broken machines, I mean c'mon is it too much to ask to have a standard voting method, and preferably one that isn't prone to breaking down or being hacked or manipulated?[/quote]

Online voting. Seriously, near 100% participation basically guaranteed.

I'm guessing closer to 110-120% participation...

Anyone see the Black Panthers standing outside polling places with nighsticks in guess where......Philly. What a surprise.

These imbeciles are in a heavily democratic precinct trying to intimidate voters? By weaving a baton? I would like to see them dropped of somewhere in Western Pennsylvania.


BTW I'm not condoning what these guys are doing but Republicans crying voter intimidation is funny.

Sure, they would make fantastic SS agents. I hear they're quipped with superman like abilities (lazer eyes, super human strength, etc).

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

I hope the woman behind them is on the phone with the police.

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

Funny I went to CNN and they would not say that the guys were dressed up as Black Panthers and did everthing they could to dance around what was up with the two men. One had a badge and was allowed to stay and the other was escorted off the property.

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

Back to our voting experiences, it took me about 5 minutes all together mainly because my ballot didn't go through, so they had to destroy it and give me another one.

Our station seemed to be pretty efficient all day, according to people I have talked to.

OMG, they're "[URL="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1108/Panther_vs_Obama.html?showall"]intimidating[/URL]" voters in a [URL="http://www.seventy.org/Downloads/Election_Returns_&_Data/2004_General/04_Phila_County_Results_for_the%20Pres_l%20Election_by%20_ward.pdf"]precinct that went[/URL] 95% for John Kerry in 2004.

Does anyone know how exit polling works? I just thought about that.. and I've always wondered how it works. I mean, I dunno how they handle it, I just know the few people I talked to didn't get polled for anything...

I didn't get polled for anything either. I mean it just seems to be the type of thing where they do it some places and not others...

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

Right now exit polls are showing Obama as 15+ in PA.

Still developing story.

Well you need to realize you are in one polling center, and they don't need to poll their, just certain locals in the state(or district) and I think wait and pick every 4th or 5th person coming out of voting to fill out a poll.

And don't be bashful, exit polls are usually pretty close.

Don't change the subject...you said "they probably cant even vote." I would suggest you stop making a fool of yourself.

OK I am a fool you are right. One last thing. I wonder who those bigots voted for.

Why is it making a fool of yourself to say that a guy standing out side of an election site flipping people off holding a stick probably can't vote?

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

I'm actually kind of ticked now that I didn't vote as I just now found out that I had a chance to send a Liberterian to the senate.

I'll play dumb and play along. Humor me, why can't they vote?

re: Election Day Thread 2008
 

When I went to go vote at around 3 today I brought my mP3 player and a big bottle of gatorade with me because it took my mom almost 2 hours earlier in the day. I live in a different county but I figured there are a lot of people in Columbia and it might take just as long but I was way wrong. No line, no wait for a booth, no people with sticks.
I was done in less than 5 minutes.

Is anyone else watching CNN right now? It's hilarious how pleased they seem with themselves and all their fancy gadgets. I do like some of the demographic stuff they can do (I was a sociology major) but they did a freaking hologram interview earlier!
They have so much crap going on that I wouldn't be surprised if Wolf and Anderson start playing Wii Tennis later tonight on one of these giant screens.

I voted in HoCo too. I was sorely disappointed to just walk in, wait 5 minutes, vote and be out. I was hoping for one of those epic 2+ hour lines. :silly:

They should just play plinko for electoral votes.
