Them new-fangled machines make me right nervous. Besides, I doubt the sweet old ladies in the church basement that have been handing me my "I Voted" sticker for the past umpteen years would know how to handle those fancy machines. Give me a felt tip pen and a sheet of paper, and I'm a happy voter. I’m with OmbudsBen on this one. Them new-fangled machines make me right nervous.

We did the electrical before accusations of fraud, we did punch card, and this primary they went back to good old pencil and paper fill-in-the-little box. I'm kind of glad. I do not trust Diebold, the electronic voting machine company, and I especially do not trust Karl Rove and his evil spawn not to get in and tweak the electronic bytes and bits. I want a paper record. So, I'm assuming the barhopping pollworker got his machine in on time? You began with a great premise to a story. Maybe a title like, "how I took 2,047 votes for a ride" or some such.

I've missed you! We've missed you. And yes, i am quite the charmer aren't I, to not get thrown in the pokey for taking pics of the ol' voting booth. And you're right Amuirin, not the method I used to get out of a "let's get ready to rumbllllllle" moment. My favorite part of the video is he actually does the ruffles and flourishes at the beginning. Reminds me of when I was in the military. B-mom!!! hello! I’ve missed you! We’ve missed you.

I imagine that isn't how you persuaded or charmed her, but you'd still come in awfully handy at the DMV. I watched that video three times, mesmerized.
