The ones they use in SC keeps a copy on the machine and on this flash memory thing the poll worker sticks into it before every person votes, so nothing is lost in the event of a power outage
Bits can get shuffled. If nothing is going to be lost, then a voter verified paper trail is necessary.

I just voted. Small town in Upstate New York with no lines and it was on my street. Way easier than the last election when I went to vote in Pennsylvania. Hour and a half lines at 8AM.

A report from Sunny hell known as Orlando Fl, my local polling place has a line that wraps around the damn building. Estimates are a nice 2-3 hours to vote. Florida. God I hate this fucking place.

Seems like a feel good thing to me. How are you going to verify that your vote was counted correctly anyway?
Before we start asking if we're in the matrix, a hard copy removes the operation of the computer from consideration in the event of a recount.

Besides, each party has a vested interest in ensuring votes for them get counted.
 
Ugh, I hope the people of the United States make the right decision and reelect President Obama... I'll be so pissed if he isn't, because he is important not only for your country and moving forward, but for my country and the entire world. Very much one of the greatest Presidents the U.S has had and to stop now would be an absolutely shameful thing. One of the few politicians who I feel is actually genuine, too.

Well, if the polling is wrong (and I don't trust polling), Obama should come up to Canada and get involved in our politics! We'll gladly take Obama over anyone else here!

At any rate, I hope the polling is accurate and Obama will take this. In Canada though, polling has been horribly wrong twice and one was so bad that it basically made a laughing stock of the concept of polling. Hopefully the polling in the States is actually accurate and I can (sort of) trust polling again. DO THIS SHIT OBAMA!

I'm telling you right now, Gaf. You'd better deliver the goods today, no matter who wins. I want GIFS! If Mormon Jesus takes Romney home to be with space-Jehova, I want gifs of the loony fringe conservative freak outs! And if Obama gets rolled, I want the full force of liberal tears and meltdowns to fill every thread.

I have faith in you, my brothers and sisters.
 
Oh my... you see this?

Just WOW!

Y'know -- I find the old woman at ~55s in quite upsetting... because she's getting really upset about it and for some reason she sees this election as life or death or something, you can see it in her eyes. When she says "I believe in GOD!" why is she tearing up and getting bent out of shape like that?

I look at some of the people heavily emotionally invested in Romney, not his normal supporters, but the ones who are going to be deeply hurt like this woman if he loses - and I see nothing but sadness. And possibly mentally unwell people. And I have to blame all the people who have made a living SCARING old women like that, and preying on their fears, and their faith-based fears... it's just disgusting

seriously... we need to educate america something wrong with our brains

Mitt is a good Christian! Didn't you know?

Even my not-so-conservative Philly suburb church is having election masses for "religious freedom" and "religious liberty". What is wrong with this country?

Should've early voted, mang. I voted last Monday at 7am here in Longwood, FL

Chance of winning:
Bams: 91.6%
Mittens: 8.4%

Hype: Max

I'm still fucking terrified that Romney will win. Everywhere I go around here people have just been singing his praises and I'm in New York. It's a rural town but it's still scary to hear so many people obviously voting against their interests.

Let's not go nuts. A GOP presidency will be disastrous for the world but Obama hasn't exactly covered himself with glory in the past 4 years.

You guys will love this. Just got a knock on my door. It was my neighbor. Apparently, someone went and let the air out of the tires of the cars of every home with an Obama yard sign. At least 6 people on my block and 3 or 4 one block over. And to top it off, the only gas station in town mysteriously had its "Free Air" compressor line cut, and the nozzle stolen.

Thankfully, I have a small air compressor in my car's emergency kit, so no one's going to be too badly affected. I guess we should be lucky that they didn't slash the tires, and just let the air out. Still, pretty petty to take that kind of action in my little Ohio village...

Even worse, here's a vid of someone trying to vote using a touch screen apparatus only to see that it was calibrated to fill in Romney if you push for Obama.

He spent too much effort capitulating to the GOP, who returned the favor by filibustering every goddamn thing imaginable.

Holy shit. What an asshole.

He's covered himself with enough glory to earn a second term in my eyes. And I feel the majority of voters feel the same as well. That's why he will win.
