SpaceGhost Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Uh oh so think about this for a minute, many places have electronic voting, and most people will not early vote. So we have this Storm coming next week "Sandy", places will be out of power for a week or more. Storm surge will make roads unfit for travel, subways could be flooded. This storm may impact this election. Especially since Obama is favored in densely populated areas like Philly (where it might make landfall), what if a chunk of people can't get to their polling place, or machines are damaged, and PA loses many of those Obama votes from a densely populated Philly, Romney could win PA’s electoral votes. Seeing that Obama seems to be favored in many big cities past and present. That would be a huge turn of events for him as PA is as of right now in favor for Obama in the polls. If Ohio lost Cinci or Cleveland in the last election, McCain would have won Ohio as all of rural Ohio pretty much voted republican. The same could happen to PA, even Shittsburg, PA (that was for you Marc) may have snow to deal with... the two biggest cities in PA..... I can see shennigans being called..... ROMNEY STARTED THIS STORM "SANDY"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 The storm is an ominous sign from God that we're doomed. Off to clean the AR as hell is going to break loose. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well, they make these things called generators... You really think they wouldn't have some kind of backup power supply for a polling place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well, they make these things called generators... You really think they wouldn't have some kind of backup power supply for a polling place? Not in poor neighborhoods. :gabe: Also if you can't get to your polling place, or it is destroyed and they change it's location to somewhere people cannot get to without transportation. Shadier things have happened in poor neighborhoods durring elections.... Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well, they make these things called generators...

I have seen the one that operates the Licking County Admin building.... and it is not going to power much, probably little more than emergency lights and the fire alarm system.

greg1647545532 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not in poor neighborhoods. :gabe: And you're counting on volunteer poll workers, most of whom are like 80 years old, to be able to both a) figure out how a generator that they've never used and barely been trained on is supposed to work, and b) manage the growing crowds of wet and disgruntled voters. It'll be chaos; cats and dogs living together, Republicans and Democrats joining forces to loot beer stores. I predict lawsuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's an act of God! Even insurance won't insure that. You can't go again God's will. Oh wait, you can transport those voters with your Suby and snow tires to the voting stations that not affect by the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember our little Deracho that shut down Hamilton Rd for a week, I usually shop and buy and eat there a bunch but for a week I DIDN'T. That storm was about 20-30 seconds......

Turbs3000 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 The interesting (to me at least) thought I had the other week was what happens with all these absentee ballots in Ohio? So Ohio has something like 7 mil registered voters and about 1 million have or are expected to vote absentee, which obviously doesn't get counted til a week after the election. In theory those 15% of voters will probably vote relative to the rest but I guess in a state where elections have been decided by 200,000 votes or less what happens when the election is that close and a million votes are still uncounted?

EvoXbmx Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think absentee ballots can be done earlier than most people, so maybe these people are utilizing it to get the process over with.... who knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
