The Poll Greeter from Hell

While serving as a poll greeter at Dallas County Precinct #4419, I tried something a little different. I brought a laptop loaded with Eric Blumrich animations and started playing them for incoming voters when traffic started to increase around 6pm.

Here's what I played for everyone:

Did anyone else try anything unusual while working as a greeter? If so, how successful were you? Let's compare notes.

1. Were you inside the polling place?

I know state laws differ, but in Ohio that'd be as illegal as hell.

4. I kept outside the boundaries...

...but there was a boundary line dispute with the election judge. More on that later.

5. Gotcha. Great idea, then!

Some of the flash videos coming out pack a lot of power into a couple of minutes. As a last-minute influence, it couldn't have hurt.

3. No, I was very traditional

I was nice to everyone and thanked them for voting. I didn't respond to the Kerry haters either.

6. That second one...is chilling.

But the first one slaps people across the face with their evil. Amazing so many idiots ignored it and still voted for the prick.
