Did you see the form that Obama had to use to vote? How can a voting process be soo fraught with problems? I'm amazed that the voting process has not yet been sorted out in America.
I think there should be a way to vote online that would be fraud proof, having to use your SSN or whatever to vote. Surely someday we'll be able to vote from our home computers.
Chicago uses paper ballots. They also had something like SEVENTY judges on the ballot. You want Obama to just zip through and tick the party lines, or do you want him to actually think about who he's voting for?
They always show the candidates when they go to vote. It did seem to take a long time though.
We printed out a sample ballot and marked some of the races in advance...like the bunch of judges and school board, commissioner of insurance, etc. just to make voting faster. We had a long ballot, as did the Obama's but it didn't take 10 minutes!! I wonder if they didn't know who to vote for in some of the local races, they've been a bit busy lately....???
I thought it was rude of him to tie up the line, but then I remembered he voted wrong once, on the rare vote he cast, maybe he was afraid he would do it wrong.
Either way, good grief, enough already!!
For the last 10 minutes on NBC the "breaking news" story has been Obama voting, nothing else, just a camera fixed on Obama and I guess what must be his daughter while he struggles with who to vote for, or worst case his daughter is telling him how to do it?
Even Matt is wondering what's taking him so long.
My question is why is this "breaking news"? Did blacks just get the right to vote? No. Is it historic that he is voting? Oh wait a minute, it MUST be that it's historic he's voting something other than "Present"!
Hey NBC, your "in the tank" is showing!
Everything on CNN/Fox News has "Breaking News" as a tag line these days. It's ridiculous. For anything to be noticed, they throw the "breaking news" tagline on it, so we'll think it's important and, truly "breaking." lol
Gee, I bet y'all could make a lot of whine with all those sour grapes. If it's so painful to watch why don't you all go do something else and we'll tell you when it's over.
