Must-See Late Night Clip: America’s Voting Machines Are F**ked on The Daily Show

How can this still be an issue?

Not only is there ample opportunity for corruption, look at this gem:

"“When machines break, you get long lines. Between 500,000 and 700,000 people weren’t able to vote in the 2012 election because of the long lines,” continued Norden."

We have people who think that they deserve to be President because of who they are. We have voting machines that leaves no trail, no way to confirm how a person actually votes. In the places where we do have a paper ballot we have a system that cost thousands of dollars to do a recount.

America its been nice knowing you

Or have we known her at all?

Sure seems like an America only works for a select group of Americans. The rest of us are just in the way.

Jones recruited people into the scheme, coached two election officers how to change voters' choices on the voting machines in 2006 and used his position on the election board to further the conspiracy, Parman said.
