A Pennsylvania electronic voting machine has been taken out of service after being captured on video changing a vote for President Obama into one for Mitt Romney, NBC News has confirmed. Republicans have also said machines have turned Romney votes into Obama ones.

we use paper, so if you want to throw your vote, you can write "fuck off" or draw a penis or whatever....
we had a local area vote a little while back and heaps of friends posted pics of their vote.
i saw some pretty funny ones

the one I did today was paper that you filled in circles to mark your choice that is then fed into a scanning machine. a scantron if you will.
as far as I know they are far more reliable than some touchscreen computer that can easily be tampered with.

My district jammed it the paper.
I voted. I was disappointed. Why? Because the booth curtain was too high for me to secretly whip my dick out and touch myself while voting like I said I would.

you mean that they're all vehemently opposed to romney's grotesque embrace of capitalism, because of the extent to which it oppresses people and keeps its adherents focused on material wealth instead of spiritual well-being?

That would make more sense. But no, they're the "He's a Socialist and I'm anti-Socialist" bunch.

Florida was smart enough to use the scantron thingy. But since the Republicans rule Florida, Romney was the first choice on the ballot.
