Romney voted at his precinct & there were dozens of empty machines, no lines. In FL? 7 hour waits.

And that right there sums it up. Dozens of empty machines and no lines in rich areas and 7 hour waits for the poor. And don't forget, many of those people took a day off of work to vote so they pay, basically, for the right to vote.

Sickens me we have allowed our Democracy to become such a diseased government.

Nationwide Voting Reform should be the number one issue in this country. If we had that we'd have a more honest government that would be for the people again. I hope that Obama will aggressively seek this out in his last term.

Peace out everyone. It has been wonderful sharing this ride with y'all.

This said, I have never seen 7 hour waits in Belmont. 1 hour has been the maximum. But it is a very small town,

It is also a small town. Hard to have long lines when the town is less than 20000 people,

if tables were turned and the rich white had two machines and lines for blocks, you bet your ass things would change.

This is so unAmerican. Things must change to reflect the will of the people and the people should get truth not Fox.

They probably cleared out the place. I imagine they didn't want to take a chance of someone heckling Mitt and Ann.

I live near DC and sometimes when I go downtown they empty and check places before Obama arrives.
