Four more years of a man many seem to either view as a messiah figure or Satan's left shoe.

I think I may go mad.

On a more serious note, does electronic voting bother anyone? I had to use a touchscreen machine to vote because they had run out of ballots. It seems insecure with no physical trace.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.

Yes! Even though Obama won, I think there are major problems with electronic voting, and I'd wager money that there are changed votes in Ohio.

I wouldn't get too excited. Federal law still supersedes State law. This is just going to set up a show down and if you've looked at California recently, the Fed hates to lose.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm cautiously optimistic. I wonder how the federal government will react when we start to see the effects of 64...

I submitted my electronic ballot and the machine displayed something like "Your votes have been counted" and then switched over to another screen. I stared at it for a little while and thought "Well, I sure hope they were."

The Nintendo 64? I admit, the 3D effects are pretty amazing...I don't know how the federal government will react, but I suspect it will start with "awe" and end with "some!!!"

As has been said, Colorado too. So two showdowns. But however it goes, it's going to bring this into the public eye. And Obama being in office means a slight advantage versus if Romney had won.
