Just got back from voting

[lampbane]

My lever got stuck so a little old lady had to come over and yank it back into place.

Huh. There's a metaphor here, but I don't know what it is. Guess I'm not ready to be an op-ed writer yet. :P

No cranks here, just scantron forms.

After the first 3 votes, our voting machine broke. Testing it revealed that it'd only allow people to vote for *Obama*. The other levers couldn't turn.

[lampbane]

So, that was what, three votes for Obama?

[tribblewing]

Oh dear god... it's a bit of an explaination... the first 2 votes might've been for Obama, or they might've been for not-Obama.

The 3rd vote was me, and yeah, I voted Obama. Everyone accused me of breaking the machine 'til the mechanics guy showed up and explained that the machine must've been dropped at some point and the inside sliding bits were loose.

Obama's in the middle column, while Hilary's on the far left (lol) and the Reps were on the far right (lol). Pulling Obama's lever shot out the hooks on the two far ends, rendering the only the middle one mobile. Hope that explains it.

Am I immature for laughing at "pulling Obama's lever?" If so, I'm okay with that.
