Don't Forget! Video Your Vote!
Okay, if you voted already, too late, but if you haven't - well, if Oprah's vote can disappear, yours can too. Not too much you can do about it this time - our lame-ass Democratic representatives let any solution die and of course our Republican representatives were jut fine with it.
But if you video your vote and document problems, you can upload the video and perhaps one of our initiatives in the next 2 years will be to fix our screwy voting machines. Funny that the nation that created the internet also created digital voting fraud and simply dysfunctional voting machines. Thumbs dabbed in ink in Iraq is safer and more exact. Another example of the cruel paradox of our legacy.

By "fix our screwy voting machines" you mean totally scrap the touch-screen crap and house one in the Smithsonian in the greatly anticipated "What Not To Do" wing that's now being constructed while the Behring Center is closed for renovations, right?

Another great place to upload your voting video is PBS/Youtube. It may even be featured on upcoming PBS programming:

Before anyone "video's their vote", it might be prudent to KNOW the laws that govern the county and state in which person lives. I believer there are about five-thousand counties in the United States and that number of potential different sets of rules.
Yes, I know technology might make it difficult to detect someone video recording their vote but it is better to be safe and at least know the law than be sorry.
