Anyone's state voting for an interesting amendment or proposition or whatever the fuck you call it? We are voting to allow casinos to be built in 2 additional counties. If that doesn't pass, I will have a mini meltdown.
There is in fact a single report out of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, that between 5 and 6 machines had malfunctioned and switched a straight-Republican ticket to a straight-Democrat ticket. The problem is a familiar one, and is just as likely to switch votes from Democrat to Republican as otherwise. The board of elections in Lebanon said it had repaired the machines, which were brought to their attention by voters who saw that their vote had been registered incorrectly by the touchscreen voting machine.
“This happens every election,” said Stanford computer science professor David Dill, who has spoken out against voting processes that rely too heavily on technology, especially in the voting booth. “It’s admitted by the local officials, who say they’ve fixed the problem,” Dill said. “Touchscreen machines have a reported problem of vote-flipping. The usual explanation for this is that the machines are calibrated wrong so when you touch it in one place, it registers in another place.”
Jeremy Epstein of research organization SRI, who successfully lobbied to have the insecure WinVote system decertified last year, said the problem was familiar to him. “Sounds like screen alignment problems, which happen on the older [direct-recording electronic voting machines] DREs,” Epstein told the Guardian. “In earlier elections, this was blamed for flipping from D to R in some states.It may well be happening, but this is not a partisan problem, but old equipment.”
Dill concurred. “If you were going to defraud somebody on a voting machine, you wouldn’t tell them what you were doing.”
Other voting problems have been reported, but all appear to be the usual crop of errors in badly-designed machines: glitches that create long lines in historic Democrat stronghold Durham, North Carolina and a glitch in a system in coastal Cartaret County, North Carolina that will force polling place workers to recount paper ballots.
US election 2016: Trump and Clinton vote as America heads to the polls – live
Nothing major. There is a park levy on our ballot that I would like to see pass. we have some great parks in Cincy - I want it to stay that way. tax dollars well spent IMO.
Nothing too outrageous. I do like the way they word them, though. I guarantee 80% of average voters have no clue what any of them mean exactly.
Voting to overthrow the neighborhood committee actually. Think we actually did it, these motherfuckers gots ta go
An unlicensed dirty brothel is more legit than the american voting system.

That illegally working illegal immigrant shouldn't be allowed to vote and should be deported for voter fraud.

Thoughts on the meaning here? Panic or really doing good?
Endingthefed.com reporting Trump is leading all over the country and Hillary has no chance.

We need to stop locking people up for doing drugs.

For some reason it needs 60% of the vote in Florida. Last time it got 58%.
I don't smoke but what do I care if people want to let the world pass them by while they smoke themselves retarded?
I wonder how many other states legalization of marijuana is on the ballot in?
Probably a few. California is voting on full legalization if I'm not mistaken.
Ah yes, leprosy and AIDS.
End the prohibition.
