I voted today, and while I was filling out the ballot two "election officials" started a rather loud conversation about how "Barack Obama isn't an American citizen" and "Wouldn't it be interesting if he ended up getting elected?" and "His birth certificate says 'Ni-Hao, Okinawa'". (Ni-Hao means hello in Chinese)
I was pissed, because as much as we'd like to think otherwise, people are sheep, and if some old lady or 18 year old kid is in the polls and hears an 'official' saying shit like that he/she might change their mind.
I called the local Democratic Headquarters and they freaked out. Said they'd talk to the head of the County Clerk's office and the head of Democratic headquarters.
There ya go.
