I bet there are actually buttons on the side and it's not touch screen.

I agree that it's probably just a screen calibration issue, but you are countering a conspiracy theory with another conspiracy theory? His finger goes nowhere near Romney.

No early voting in PA so we have no choice

He should have taken a video of himself clicking the other candidates.

At exactly 0:03 the video stops for a second and his finger has changed position. Also his finger looks like it's just hovering over Obama but never actually touching the screen. There's just something fishy about it..

**kuronosan** · 2012-11-06 11:45

That's too much reaching, friend.

**Buffy** · 2012-11-06 11:45

When will we start to have reasonable results? 2 am? Midnight?

Dolmen · 2012-11-06 11:51

Got to my polling location at 550AM and there were ~150 people ahead of me, so I got out of there around 700AM. Lots of poll volunteers and supervisors breaking the law by wearing political affiliation/candidate clothing, stickers, etc..., which is prohibited by Virginia law (can't have it within a certain number of feet of the polling place) and generally screwing up voter sign in.

As for a prediction, I believe it all rests on voter turnout, and then on Virginia and Ohio. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Romney win, but I have a feeling that Obama will be re-elected. Regardless, it's not like we have a decent, legitimate choice this time around.

**Outlaw** · 2012-11-06 11:54

I just think some people will try to pull stuff like this to stir up controversy and make people hate "the other side."

**Trinsie** · 2012-11-06 11:58

New York here and I know my state is going Obama, but where I live inn NYC there are not many white people. When I got to the voting　place this morning it was full of old white people. Where they all come from?

I am guessing a bit different than the rest of you but I am thinking this

Not that Im convinced its real or anything, but if you check the description on that video in youtube, it explains it cant be a calibration problem. He clicks other names and they work fine, its just the Obama button going for Romney.

Again, not saying tis real, just responding to some posts lol.

Not just a magic plan, magic underwear.

Nigga, stop reaching, lol.

It's just a calibration error. Also the sounds/skips you hear and see is the dude's video delay.

**Ksandra** · 2012-11-06 12:03

I agree it's probably a calibration error. What's sad is if the guy is telling the full truth, the volunteer did nothing. Which means they didn't shut down that particular machine.

I do wish he had said which state it was in, but maybe he was afraid of being caught. I highly doubt video taping at a polling place is legal.

**kuronosan** · 2012-11-06 12:03

He explains why it isn't. Not saying it isn't, just saying that a video of him touching other candidates would have helped his case.

**Apelila** · 2012-11-06 12:06

Holy hell they just tested the emergency alert system in this town. It woke me up and scared the living fuck out of me. It's perfectly clear outside, so it was very obvious it wasn't weather but not immediate that it was a test.

Just a note: Several cab companies are offering free rides from your house to your poling place and back. Couldn't find one central website, but you can try looking it up in your area to see if there are any. I know yellowcab is offering it in at least LA and Oakland, but I don't know if it's yellowcab everywhere.
