I stumbled across this video in my early internet browsing today and it is absolutely AMAZING! I wish I could give credit to whoever made it, but I have no idea who it was.


Obama ’08 – Vote For Hope from MC Yogi on Vimeo.

I read an interesting thing today regarding voting. I know that when you go into the polls to vote, you automatically assume that the order you vote in doesn’t matter- all that matters is who you say you’re voting for. WELLLLLL I have news for you. That’s not how it works. I wasn’t aware of this so I figured I would help make everyone else aware since I just heard about it. When you go into the polls to vote, you have to actually tick Barack’s name first, and THEN “Straight democratic”, or else it doesn’t register that you voted for Obama as president. I don’t know why it does that but it does.

It is claimed that this will only happen in NC because it has been caught in the other places it occurred, but don’t be stupid and trust that. Please click his name first then “Straight democratic”. Also be aware that if you go to the polls wearing anything electoral, even a button, you will not be able to vote. Some states are nice and will allow you to cover up your pin or put on a jacket to cover your shirts, but not all states are like that. They are hoping that you go home and decide to stay there rather than fight the line.

I just thought I would let you guys know. Early voting has begun as of Monday, October 20th… beat the rush, get your butts out there and vote! [For Obama. Just kidding haha vote for whoever you want to... just don't tell me about it. Lol]

    WV Voting Machines Switch Votes from Obama to McCain

    Early voting in the presidential election has already begun in many states, and problems are already emerging at the polls. In West Virginia, voters in at least two counties using touchscreen voting machines have claimed their votes were switched from Democrat to Republican. Six voters reported having this problem in Jackson and Putnam Counties. In both counties, Republicans are responsible for overseeing elections. One voter, a retired nurse named Shelba Ketchum, said, “I hit Obama, and it switched to McCain. I am really concerned about that. If McCain wins, there was something wrong with the machines.” Election officials blamed voters for not being more careful. Both counties use machines made by Election Systems & Software.
    McCain Supporters Harass Obama Voters in North Carolina

    In North Carolina, over 200,000 residents have already cast ballots in early voting. In Fayetteville, a group of John McCain supporters heckled and harassed a group of mostly black supporters of Barack Obama as they voted on Sunday. The Washington Times reported the McCain backers shouted and mocked the voters as they walked into the voting place. The website Facing South reports the McCain supporters likely broke the Voting Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits anyone from intimidating or threatening a person for voting or attempting to vote. On that same day in Fayetteville, North Carolina, thirty people reported having their tires slashed after attending an Obama rally.
