where my bubble booty bitches at

No more voteing!Everybody 45 and older put you name in a hat and the last president gets to pick the next president! No cheating,no ballots no one can understand, no machines that miscount on accident{yeah right} And no more party politics! Bet it would work.

As sick as it sounds they should bring back intelligence and literacy tests for US voters. I say that and I am an American, BTW, but if a person is too stupid to either fill in a bubble or poke a hole ad brush off the chad then he/she is too stupid to be entrusted with the responsibility of picking a national or local leader.

Why is it so hard to fuking figure out how to vote, how to count votes, and how to run a respectible election? Seems pretty simple to me.

[ghotifisher]

I'm Australian so i'm naturally inclined to suggest the US system is flawed on many fronts, but the one that I really don't get is why you still get ballots wrong after Florida in 2000.

It should be pretty simple-rock up, ask for a ballow, and vote for your preferred candidate. If you vote for a Democrat, your intenion is clear, whether you tick another box that says you are voting in the Democratic contest. At least they got one thing right: Paper ballots can at least be checked.

I was a poll worker AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS DURING ANY MEETING. I didn't even hear about this today. I saw many English-speaking 20-year-olds confused by this. I can't even being to imagine how many non-English speaking people just wasted their Democrat vote because they had enough problems to begin with when just voting. This bubble had absolutely no point and has just waste THOUSANDS of votes.

LA County double bubble fiasco questions that need to be answered:

- How many votes "didn't count" for being invalid?

- How does it compare to previous years?

- Independents who wanted to vote democratic did they get different ballots at the polls from registered democrats? (Some did, some didn't)

- How many independent voters who voted democratic didn't fill the democratic bubble? Will their vote "count"?

- How many registered democrats filled the democratic bubble? Will their vote "count"?

Disinformation and Voting in Riverside County.

My Mother was confused when receiving an American Independent Ballot.

Thats not the party she registered to. Then she was not prompted in the fact of the matter that she still has a choice of ballots.

Even if she is handed the wrong ballot she still can participate in the open democratic ticket.

THANKS!! San Diego here. The ballot wasn't secret. They had privacy sleeves, but those weren't being used.

An Independent came in and she was denied a democrat ballot and was forced to vote provisionally.

voting provisionally was the ony way to keep the ballot secret at my polling place.

The machine broke when I used it, I was the first, and they blamed it on me...

I have no idea if I truly voted...

I love how he got cut off at the start. Get to the substance!

[ScottFerrante]

Who did u vote 4?????

[toyracers]

well.. the ballot is scanned for errors, so even if they do a double bubble, the machine will catch it and reject the ballot.....

excellent reporting your videos are great

[WhyTuesday]

as a matter of fact because the machine doesn't reject under-votes - votes that aren't cast - the ballot isn't rejected. -- jacob

[Freepablo]

Wrong. The ballot machine will only reject ballots that have NO votes at all. We got a few from people who didn't know how to vote properly their first time. Even if they just voted for president and no props it goes through.

[SparklestheClown]

Have just done my first caucus. It was so very complex. I now truly believe we need voting reform - totally - But we are lucky to be free to participate.
