Election Day Thread

300 people still in line in Blacksburg VA, polls closed 25 min ago, last guy made it by 4 min.

Don't know if it's "law" or not, but most states will just close off the line when the polls "close" and allow those who were in line before closing to vote.

[Day]

Yeah that's what I was trying to say.

Hologram technology, nice CNN.

Texas newscasts announced this too. If you are in line by the deadline they will let you vote by law. I would believe most states would follow that.

Fuck man I almost finished checking this thread and the Palin thread to see if it had been posted already

That was so epic

Wow... I missed the hologram. I guess they'll use that again later tonight so hopefully I'll catch it!

CNN IS DOING HOLOGRAMS?

Fuck, it's time for me to get Blitzer'd

[Day]

So it was cool or lame? Trying not to get wooshed here.

[Mrcloudz]

Yeah they said they were going to use it for McCain representative(s) in Phoenix later tonight

I thought it was awesome, the image was clear enough and somewhat laggy but not too much so, but the audio was PERFECT, like as if she really was there talking.

CNN Newsroom = USS Enterprise?

Why are people calling this an hologram? It's just a special effect.

[SephYuyX]

Its a visual teleconference, but 3D.

[Dareus]

Fuck I'm tired of this shit.
Colin Powell said it best: even if he is a Muslim (which he isn't), who the fuck cares? What, suddenly it's wrong to be of Muslim faith in this country?

That's exactly how I responded. The faces they gave me made me think a giant spider was on my head, and I was given the confused reply of " but..MUSLIM!"


And regarding that hologram, I freaking love technology. More please!

[Day]

To give you something to debate. Your mom is a hologram.

[Maxxthepenguin]

Actually it's fucking BILOCATION TECHNOLOGY

THEY'RE IN BOTH PLACES AT ONCE

[Ishido]

IT'S JUST LIKE PRINCESS LEIA

Also someone post links to pretty internet tracking sites.

I'll admit the touch screen things CNN is using (that's surface, right?) is pretty cool.

[Khamsin]

Why are people calling this an hologram? It's just a special effect.

Special effect on TV is one thing, but a hologram in front of you that you can walk around and pass your hand through is another. The experience is diminished for the viewers at home, but it's the thought that counts.

CNN is calling it a hologram so I guess we're calling it the hologram ;o

CNN and NBC projecting 21 votes for mccain 3 for obama

*pant*

Just got back from casting my vote. I was told that I could vote at a certain library about 20 mins from my house, went there and they told me I had to vote at a school less than 5 minutes from my house.......either way, got to vote. Only one person in line before me, and I went in with about 30 mins left before they closed the voting area.
