Here’s an exciting video of Michelle and Barack Obama voting at their Chicago polling station for an actual century. Just cold goin’ down that ballot and pickin’ winners. Really, though, it’s just Michelle who takes so goddamn long; Barry finishes his ballot in normal human time, and then he and the children mock her for being weird. Clearly elitist Michelle Obama doesn’t understand how real ‘merkins vote: pick the president who has the most signs everywhere and then write-in “DONKEY SEX” for the remaining contests.

CNN just showed a video sent in by some woman who wants her dumbassery to be national news apparently. She flipped a coin to decide who to vote for, and surprise surprise, probability is in the tank.

Massachusetts: Most of our Dems are running unopposed, so lines went pretty quickly. The big contest was supposed to be for state senator, but the incumbent was just arrested stuffing bribe money into her bra. So that leaves three ballot questions.

1) Abolishing the state income tax (two months ago the tax abolishers they were complaining their position wasn’t being heard because of – no shit – they did’nt have the money).

2) Decrimininalizing small amounts of pot

3) Banning dog racing.

Let’s hope broke stoner dog lovers GOTV !

…what is “Donkey-Sex’s” stance on abortion?

Urbanachiever November 4, 2008 at 11:41 am

To be fair, the Chicago ballot is 16 pages long! There are about 85,000 judges up for retention.

NoWireHangers November 4, 2008 at 11:41 am

I’ve lived in Chicago. I remember the 2004 General Election ballot. There were like 30 judges on that damn ballot. It takes awhile in Chicago.

Hopey, being half-whitedevil had to struggle a little to read the Chicago ballot, as it is written in ebonics.

Well fuck, maybe I should have switched my registration when I moved after all. Colorado has 14 constitutional amendments and 4 ballot initiatives. And none of them were about marijuana.

Deepthroat November 4, 2008 at 11:47 am

those are some weird ass voting, um, cubicles? Are they actually using number two pencils or something? Here in real ‘merica, Harrisburg, we have the good ‘ol booths with the curtains where you just push 1 button to select all the dems and then hit the big green “VOTE” button at the bottom. BOOM. We only had three booths for our entire 11th ward which is a big portion of the city. I waited over an hour and the line wasn’t that ridiculous.

Josh Fruhlinger November 4, 2008 at 11:47 am

Despite the graphic at the bottom of the screen, I’m not convinced that the fact that Obama voted constitutes “breaking news.” Unless, of course, it turns out that he’s an illegal alien registered fraudulently by ACORN.

Did Obama’s white half vote for himself?

You should see the San Francisco ballot – the voter guide is bigger than a “Small-Town Real American” city’s phone book. Full of freakish proposals but the best one is naming the Sewage Treatment facility after Dubya. That one didn’t take much thought.

golliwog November 4, 2008 at 11:50 am

No doubt Hannity’s Rev Wright clips were playing in Hopey’s head when he voted for That One.

I told my brother in Petersburg VA to get out there early, and he was all “Nah, there aren’t many people in this town.” Now RawStory reports there were 400 people in line at one polling place there this morning:

[re=163148]golliwog[/re]: They are running those Rev Wright ads here in AZ. McCain is so broke and chicken-shit, he has some republitard group paying for them. I am slightly hopefull for a BLUE AZ late tonight on the mostly blue CNN election map.

So I was torn between for Obama or Cynthia Mckinney.

I thought “Hmm, Obama, Mckinney, Obama, Mckinney… that’s a tough one.”

Terry November 4, 2008 at 11:59 am

I got to vote on a few amendments ranging from interesting to numbing:

- Allow early voting
- Allow 15,000 slot machines in four counties ’cause like half the neighboring states have them
- County amendment to say that any new taxes have to be unanimously approved by the County Council, which will never occur.

and finally, this little number:
- Repeal Sections 311A, 311B, and 313A of the County Charter, regarding use of County funds to operate a landfill system on residentially zoned land; burying or trenching sewage sludge on residentially zoned land; and telephone service offered by the C&P Telephone Company.

The last one leads your to think “Holy Mother of God, what am I voting on there?”.

I voted in Chicago. There are tons of judges on the ballot. I think it was 8 pages. Obama probably just voted for himself and, maybe, Dick Durbin then skipped the rest. Local politics are beneath him now.

Johnny Zhivago November 4, 2008 at 12:03 pm

I guess they don’t check the voter list against the terrorist watch list in Chicago?

Giant Robot November 4, 2008 at 12:03 pm

Ha Ha Ha, ABC news says William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan voted at the same polling station as Obama. By the time team McCain makes an attack ad out of that to air in Alaska and Hawaii, Hopey will have about 450 electoral votes. I love my new country already!!

Yeah. It took an obnoxiously long time to vote in Chicago. And the pens take forever. I had to vote on at least 50 (and, yeah, I’m not joking at all here) judges, plus congress, plus water reclamation district, plus various proposals…It takes forever. And if you skip one the machine beeps and they say “did you mean to undervote?”, which makes you look like an asshole to the responsible people in line who eagerly chose all the funny named judges. There was a 4 foot tall nun who was about 90 years old and spoke only Greek in line in front of me. They found someone in line to translate and talk her through all of it. I almost cried from the hope.

ForTheTurnstiles November 4, 2008 at 12:09 pm

True story: last night someone hacked into the email account of the provost at George Mason University (it’s in Fairfax, VA). There’s been lots of Obama activity there for weeks.

Someone sent an email from that account to everyone on campus saying that the election had been postponed until the 5th of November. I got one in my inbox.

It’s nuts.

mamandesfilles November 4, 2008 at 12:10 pm

The problem in Illinois is that we are voting to retain judges… and there were a skillion judge on the back of that clown ballot we get.

Giant Robot November 4, 2008 at 12:10 pm

Tonights big losers: 1. McCain, of course, when Barry wins AZ and AK, and 2. Nate Silver when we all realize that the 7-11 coffee cup poll was more accurate than fivethirtyeight. Don’t worry Nate, we still like you!!

Now remember to lie back and take it as I have my way with you in a rough manner tonight. Regards, B. Hussein Obama President of a Black Planet.” Then strutting out before high fiving Ayers as he came in to vote.

RobPetrified November 4, 2008 at 1:07 pm

Oh, sure.
Even the Liberal Media can’t resist showing a big scary negro who is obviously taking so long to vote because he’s unable to read a ballot and color in the boxes.
I’ll bet he has a knife in his pocket, and he’ll be lurking around an ATM once it gets dark.

Origami November 4, 2008 at 1:28 pm

Not to get all Hopey-barfy, but maybe she was taking awhile because she was getting too excited to concentrate? I know I would be shaking and/or crying (but I have a vagina). Also, Michelle strikes me as the kind of smart lady who thoroughly researches the ballot and makes a shortlist of who and what to vote for. She could blast out of there if she wanted to.

So, I voted in Chicago this morning… though not in Hyde Park (even though I’m there now).
Lines were long, and I’m happy to report that, assuming my neighborhood is representative of the entire nation, Obama will win the election by 87 points.

My ballot looks different than his in a few ways, but the judges are the same – here is the reason that he took so long to vote… it takes forever. Took me 15+ minutes:

I like how after :47 seconds Matt Lauer suggests that maybe viewers are thinking that voting takes so long it may not be worth it. Because 47 seconds is a really long time.
