The conspiracy theories are starting to get to me

Seriously, someone just smack some sense into me. Between Tagg Romney owning voting machines in Ohio and the voter registrations being dumped in the trash in Virgina I'm starting to get scared about the legitimacy of this election.

Me too.  And Tagg Romney owning voting machines is not a conspiracy theory.  This should be a big concern because it's a huge conflict of interest.

I am worried about the voting machines. I watched a video (ala Cats) from Princeton University about how easy it is to rig the voting machines.

That is true, it's not a conspiracy theory, but I am starting to worry. If Romney wins Ohio there will be a question of if he won fair and square or they cheated. Before this came out I wouldn't think twice about if he won Ohio but now, like you said, it's a huge conflict of interest.

I didn't realize that an individual could own voting machines.  I really didn't realize that an individuals whose father has a ~50% shot at winning the election could own voting machines in a swing state.

I work in health research and the conflict of interest forms I have to fill out make my head want to spin.  I hope Tagg at least had to do a lot of paperwork.

Pfft

Wait, what?!

The black panther "issue" was a non-issue. 

This is important because it's physical ownership of an actual mechanism of voting.  It's not trying to sway votes.  It's actually screwing with how people physically vote.

Reminds me of those Simpsons clips Lexi posted a while back. It definitely worries me.
