Are we making a separate thread for election night coverage?

Make one and name it something creative. I won't be joining in though cause I'll be at an election party.

When will smartglass be available for iOS and what exactly does it do?

Well, I'm putting it up at midnight because that one place in Maine votes then.

I am not really much of a conspiracy guy but Roger Ebert tweeted this (not that it really matters it was him) so I thought I would share. I recall there being some issue with Romney and ties to voting machines but this seems odd to me. Anytime voting machine software is getting a patch you have to wonder about it. It should be law that this type of stuff be disclosed to the public. Well speculate away or ignore I guess.

At the point you have to seriously consider New World Order rigging of the voting machines, you might as well hang up your hat and go with it. There's nothing that can be done by that point.

How is it pure bullshit and what makes it ignorant? I doubt there are many people who are in-line with everything Romney says (today) or Obama's record. When you only have two (realistic) chances, it's not going to be common that a candidate comes along that agrees with your stance on every issue, and if someone feels that this year it's even less than normal, why get upset that they wish there were better choices?

Bilderberg couldn't produce a better candidate than Romney?

Read up on the things John Husted has tried to do this year as Secretary of State.

He's making Ken Blackwell look positively ethical by comparison.

I don't know enough about the "patch" conspiracy, but I do know that Husted is unabashed in his attempt to prevent Obama from taking Ohio by any means necessary.

I wonder when we'll get to the point of 'Early Voting Places aren't the same as regular Polling Places, forcing me to travel farther, CONSPIRACY!'

It's not really a conspiracy when Republicans are going on camera stating they are passing voter ID to flip states.

Do you really think rigging a machine is out of bounds?

I'll be disappointed no matter what tomorrow, just slightly less so if Obama wins.

Electoral fraud via machines is just a fact of our modern elections. It happened in 2008 as well. Races are going to slant one way (and always the same way) vastly more than they should statistically. But they can only steal/flip so many votes. Things have to look legitimate.

The only answer we have is turnout. No one is going to look into it. They steal 5k in a county, you bring 10k. They still 100k in a state, you bring 200k. The owner of Diebold said in 2004 that he would deliver Ohio for Bush, and he did.

Who else is excited to go out and vote tomorrow with their Election Erection . I know I am! Happy voting to everybody!

That wasn't really my point. My point is that in the 24-hour news media, everything, no matter how big or small, how factual or how stupid it may be, becomes a headline.

We talk about voting machine frauds when years ago there hanging chads, butterfly ballots, lock boxes, etc. Never underestimate someone's ability to bend the system to their will for gain. And don't act like it's a big thing every election, because it happens every single time.

You have a better chance of dying on your way to the polling station than you do of having your vote influence the election.

Do the sensible thing, peeps: stay home and do something enjoyable with your time.

You know I've always thought that telling people that was one of the worst things a person could do during an election. Realize that yeah, one person's vote is unlikely to matter, but if enough people believe that, you get a large number of people not voting, and all those people together could actually matter. i mean we already have a painfully low voter turnout every year as it is.

This. I hate that cynical "my vote doesn't matter" bullshit. Every since '08, I've made an effort to vote even in local elections here in NC.

You weren't do so before because...?

I've been voting in every election since 03, when I first became eligible. No matter how big or small, I voted. I knew it was important then, just as I do now.

Because I freely admit that I was apathetic to a lot of things at the time. All I cared about in my early 20's was gaming and hanging out. Then I realized I was celebrating ignorance and indifference, so I decide to actually give a damn. Combined with how pissed off I got with the direction the country was going, I decided to learn more about politics and actually registered to vote.

Voting gives sanction to politicians who start wars, trash the environment, and champion civil liberties abuses. If voter turnout ever fell to hilariously low levels, like 3% of the eligible populace, the sanction would vanish. That's the real reason to not vote.
