Excuse me, I think this voting machine's a Republican

These videos are among the best (worst) of election day in the U.S. They show Democratic party supporters trying to cast their votes for Barack Obama but being hindered by voting machines with an apparent bias toward Mitt Romney.

Kind of makes you glad we still use paper ballots in Canadian federal elections.

what is really scary is that all these failures always benefit the republicans. you practically never hear of machines failing and benefiting a democrat or independent.

A Wikipedia post on the Diebold company -a voting machine manufacturer in the U.S.- shows their CEO has Republican ties:
