  • tyler kirk is awsome!!!

  • DFTBA

  • Nicely done.

    Project for Awesome is truly Awesome.

    =)

  • P4A FTW!!

  • Yesss! I agree.

  • Excellent video! Thanks!

  • DFTBA

  • You forgot one thing: Old style plurality voting is unfair and is the reason more than a thirds of U.S. Presidents were elected without actually having majority support! We desperately need to switch to either a preferential voting system (Condorcet method), or range voting.

  • Hmmm.... I don't get the point about people thinking about high-school more... Since, if I remember correctly... High-schoolers can't vote.

  • Hey MelissaJenna, you made some good comments. Another thing i've heard is that some states such as Florida have outdated voting infrastructure. For example, my Polsc. Prof in my home province told me that in order to vote for president in some Florida districts, you can't vote directly. Why is that?Because the laws in these countries say you have to press a lever on a machine, which swings the hammer that stamps your ballot.The problem? Sometimes the machine hit both slots,so wasn't counted

  • your right about politics we need more poeple like you in office

  • You look a mess in this video.Glass=a ball on you nose not to mention the hair.You have a clear compulsive obcession to talk about politics,as you said there is nothing you can do about it to change their choice of what machine to use. They choose the machines not you.Have you ever try to serve the military your country .Action is better than blah,blah talking.

  • We all love Melissa!!!!:)

  • As a nerd, I take offense to the term "NerdFighter". Please refrain from using it. It's offensive and derogatory. Thanks.

  • I recommed you watch the Vlogbrothers; then you will find that nerdfighters, instead of being a derogatory term about fighting nerds, is an awesome term about nerds fighting for a better world. :) As a nerd, I think you would really enjoy the Vlogbrothers!

  • My comment got -4? LOL! :D

    I was just joking, people! ;)

  • The problem with voting is the electoral college, it negates the people's votes the most. Case in point: Bush lost the 2000 election by HALF A MILLION VOTES but instead that college elected him.

    Look up Ron Paul, he's the only non-neocon Republican running and frankly if it wasn't for him I would have already decided to boycott the election which is hardly decided by the people any way.

  • hAters! go on chica!

    Viva! Project awesome

    ~Friends don't let friends drive junk!~

  • I have watched most of your videos to kill time,and I have to say that it is almost like you have a different personallity on each one.Really crazy!!Good luck with your'secret project of awesome'.Who knows which Melissa will be on your next video the nerdy,the dancer,the super secret project etc. Good Luck!Happy New year for you and all your family!!

  • This is a good issue to talk about! <3 u

  • privatized?????? melissa the voting system is already privatized thru the 4 or 5 companies that own and control the black box voting machines and the programming software!please watch "hacking democracy" and "uncounted". vote fraud is endemic to the system and our democracy has been stolen

  • Thank you for being aware and concern with politics as it affect us all. Apathy is the number 1 thing that is destroying this country. politician do as they please because they no for the most part we don't care and its great to see someone else

  • Make more movies.

  • It ain't perfect, but it's worked for the last 200 years, so why change it?

  • I agree,it should be a national holiday.

  • shad up, if people don't know HOW to vote then they SHOULDN'T be ALLOWED to vote..

  • Wow, the level of stupidity from these comments blows my effin mind. Please, STFU. Thanks. :)

  • fat and ugly? dude you couldn't get a chick this hot if you had a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your zipper.

  • she's hot

  • Boring...!!!

  • Have you ever noticed that girls that want people to think they are smart wear hipster glasses and sound like Kermit The Frog? Watch the video again and notice how she goes very quickly from a normal talking voice to this uber nerdy hipster Kermit The Froggy voice.

    Project Awesome? I can think of a stupider name: Project Radicalness

  • you are referring to the "I work in the D.A.s office" or" I'm an under appreciated reporter for a third string media outlet" look.I think Lisa Loeb is a progenitor of this.And she actually turned out to be pretty dumb (even though I love her music).

    And did she say "micro funny"?

    Someone should start a project radicalness to spoof all of these vids...

  • I am absolutely certain that if you put this girl in front of a differential equation she would not have the slightest god damn clue as to how to solve it.

    If you were to put her in front of a canvas she would not know how to paint on it.

    If you were to put her in front of a musical instrument she would not know how to play it.

    Talentless girls like MelissaJenna bullsh*t their way to the top through out their entire lives and no one ever questions them on it.

  • Exactly! I have met several of these types of girls that do not have the intellectual capacity to excel in scientific or artistic fields, yet they want to fit in so badly with the 'smart' crowd that they literally change their entire persona to appear as if they are 'geeky'.

  • Mimicry is unfortunately not as beautiful in human nature as it is in the rest of the animal kingdom...

  • Beautiful girl and a really nice speaking voice but what exactly is she trying to say?

  • Did you get fat? It seems like you got fatter. I hope not, because your looks are all you have going for you. And if you lose those before you get married to a rich man you are going to be in serious trouble.

  • Heh, if you really believed that would you have taken your own time to post several comments on some "talentless girl's" video? If you're as intelligent as you'd like us all to believe, you'd realize that commenting here is a total waste of your time. I mean, c'mon, you could be solving differential equations!

  • Fifty years from now when you begin to reflect on your life, you are going to feel an exorbitant amount of guilt for achieving your wealth and success by taking advantage of societies obsession with physical appearance instead of using the few critical thinking abilities to contribute to the few fields that actually move the world forwards, not backwards or laterally.

    think.

  • The only way to hold fair elections is to have national standards and uniform paper ballots and replace the electoral college with proportional representation.

    There is no point in taking half measures. MHO.

  • Good morning to you, too, Rene Zellwegger.

  • you forgot about the black voters in Florida . Talk about screwing over the elections. FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH!!!! oh and kudos on your video its good to hear someone talking about a relevant issue with half a brain

  • Every person THINKS they are smarter than the average person. Including her. She's cute and has a nice voice, but it would be nice if she had a broader perspective. Well, kudos to her for at least making sort of an effort.

  • wow you are totally hottt

  • We should vote by way of text messages.

  • I like what you have to say here. Its not about some liberal-made up conspiracy. Its about the system of casting a ballot and doing it in an easy manner that is fair to all people. Also its getting the voters involved in the process.

  • If America (or the world) knew the truth, it would haunt their minds for eternity.

    "Let the bodies hit the floor"

  • I've never seen someone talk so much, yet say so little.

  • It is amazing.

    She needs to be more respectful of people's time, and get to the point faster.

    But, she's, like, really hot, so I guess she's used to guys who want to get laid just smiling and nodding when she talks, so over the course of her lifetime she's sadly developed some really undisciplined communication habits.

    Melissa, if you're reading this, google lead with the hook copywriting.

  • Okay, now the real show.

    Huckabee's going to win Iowa. Romney's going to sink. And Giuliani's going to swallow his denture.

  • sometimes it is hard to think about politics while Melissa is talking because she is so cute!!

  • psycho girlfriend type.

  • ...In France.

    And about the results, all this by hand system, shows the final results before recount in about 4 or 5 hours.

    If you need votes for something else than general election and you use to do that very often like in Switzerland, it would be okay to computerize the system on those matters.

  • In France you vote only on Sundays. It takes a whole day. The overseas territories and people living in a foreign country vote the same day before or after. Everything is standardized, verified, clean and the ballots put in envelops secretly are visible in transparent boxes and everybody registered and verified when inserting the envelop in the box.

    Everything looks perfect, anonymous but trustworthy and the principles are old and still working. You just feel confident it cannot fail.

  • I don't understand those problems. In fact this is so rare (once every two years) it should be done properly. Until today, France had and still has a very good system. You should watch that closely. It's got about everything you seem to wish.

    Now there were tries to use computers and the tests were a mess and cost much more than the old ways.

  • Great ideas. Thank you for bringing this to people's attention. I also like those solutions.

  • you are cute XD

  • Love all your ideas on fixing the voting process, especially extending it into a three day event with registration on the same day, Maybe just the first day because it does take time to process such things? Anyways, I'd look into Freemasonry and Obama more and let me know if you still think anything will change if he's elected. Then, with all that in mind you might want to look into what Ron Paul has in mind.

  • It's great that you can be so articulate just randomly sitting somewhere having a drink! You are definitely into the topic, well done/said.

  • Hey I have a good solution for "Outies Project", you can create a earmark!!Go Melissa for President!!!

  • I prefer Vote fore ron paul PLEASE

  • i'd hit it

  • Try creating a non-partisan third-party organization in charge of your elections with a clear governmental mandate. It works in Canada and other Commonwealth countries. Would you Americans not like a 36 day election campaign from start to finish? And, votes counted by evening of the election and a winner declared by 10 or 11PM.

  • i think you have a good thing going. you have good ideas, nice speech, and you are not sittin in front of starbucks. i hate starbucks. keep it up. im subscribing.

  • Go to watchthevote dot com NO MORE FRAUD

  • You said you thought 2004 wasn't as bad. Sorry, it was much worse. The difference is that those perpetrating the election fraud were more effective at concealing it, and the voter disenfranchisement was much more organized.

  • Darth's right

    04 was worse and it's sad to say

    but 08 could even be worse than that.

    Let's hope 4 a better 2012

  • Privatize??!! Noooooooo! Voting is something that should not be privatized in ANY way whatsoever. The reason is because govt's first priority is to the people of the US, whereas a corporation's first priority is to their shareholders. The interests of the people and the shareholders very often are in conflict with one another.

  • Make exit polling illegal???!!! I know how important voting reform is to you, which is why I'm so utterly godsmacked to learn that you don't know the importance of exit polling! Exit polling is one of the primary tools used by those who monitor elections to determine whether an election is legitimate or not. However, if you were to suggest that the results of the exit polling not be made public until after a certain time, I might be able to get on board with that.

  • If I do vote Iam putting down michael moore fuck the vote up lol.

  • Privatize? Are you unaware of the kind of massive voter fraud that would likely invite? There is currently quite an ongoing controversy about the use of Diebold voting machines as it is. There are many YT videos on this subject, but I would refer you to one under the search: Rigged USA Elections Exposed

  • Overhauled I meant.. And the only candidates that make any sense to me are Paul, Kucinich and Obama.. But the problem is that they are still a part of the "old system" in a way.. And NO WAY to Hillary.. She should be in jail.. Mena, Arkansas and Vince Foster, etc ring a bell?

  • I love the new vid.. And the entire election process needs to be overhaul.. Watch the vid on my channel about Nader and the 2000 election.. Also to know how really corrupt the U.S. Presidential actually is.. Check out the documentary, "Hacking for Democracy" by HBO films..  Makes you not even want to vote.. We need to take back the country, for the people..

  • Melissa Jenna, please consider RON PAUL who is the man for you, even though I think you're really quite, quirky but nonetheless cute, mowah!

  • voting for the puppet on the left of the puppet on the right americans on xanax and prozac and valium seem the need to voice their random opinion ranted through an arogant belief that their country is "free" lisn to her LISN a fucking yacker WAWWAWAWAWAWAWWAAWAW non stop

  • I agree with you about the touch screen voting.

    But disagree about same day registration. That would be too prone to fraud and to hard to verify the persons eligibility to vote.

    Someone who has taken the time to register months ahead of the time would be more likely to make an educated vote. Rather than just voting on the fly.

  • You are awesome, and made almost entirely of MelissaJenna!

  • I bet she takes her laptop to the yuppie drug house to use the wi-fi connection in public like a scary little sentinel or minion. I'm getting off this dumb computer and swatting these flies out of my face after this. Corporate America is China's bitch and the American Government is Corporate America's bitch. It goes something like that, but I don't know because I wasn't really paying attention. Why stay connected anymore? You might as well vote while you still can though.

  • fuck obama hes a gay

  • BORING.

  • go to watchthevote dot com We need to keep the election from being stolen again VOTE RON PAUL 2008 !!

  • gay....

  • is that the best you can do?

  • The idea was pitched to you? As in should we go forward with this "uber sweet plan"? Wow, someones really important. Too bad you and the nerds didn't keep it a secret from the rest of us.

    p.s. I'm still awaiting your video with some side boob.

    Hugs ;)

  • Is the voting really that complicated? In Canada it is just a card with a series of names and a box beside the name. X marks the vote. P.S. Ron Paul should be the next president.

  • 1 adult 1 vote ....most votes win, what a fuckin concept ....goddamn shame the government wont adopt that format

  • her tag line says "ron paul people drive me nuts"

    i.e people like you, and i would definately have to agree.

  • Actually exit polling is what is used to in 3rd world countries to determine if it was a legitimate election or not.

    In America we have some of the most accurate exit polls in the world. The trick would not to band exit polling but to restrict the immediate reporting on the results.

  • So true, and so well put. A shame so many of your comments are from illiterate 12-year olds.

    In addition to what you said, there is the issue of voter suppression which has been used in the last 2 elections. "They" don't want us to vote.

  • illiterate 12-year olds are teh awesome!

  • go nerd power fighter!!

  • W0W this girl is totally beautiful but also incredibly intelligent.. this video is so informative that if i was American i would actually take a stand about how confusing the voting process is (i'm canadian)

  • If she's so intelligent, why is she voting for Obama?

  • she can vote for anyone she wants...but when 95% of all girls...err make that 95% of everyone couldnt be bothered to vote its so awesome to see someone so enthusiastic in what shes saying and since i know poli sci is no cake walk i can totally respect her for that also

  • anid i need to go to school unfair! this is a very awesome video

  • what's this 'type at home' do on the most discussed page? 100 more comments here needed!

  • so few people actually know about this problem. thanks!

  • until every single vote counts, people are going to feel that voting doesnt matter. but even if ur vote doesnt count...someone will see it and someone will know that we are not happy. eventually we can hope that things will change, but if u dont vote U CANT COMPLAIN AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE. voting reform NOW!!!

  • The gambling machines in vegas and other places are heavily regulated by our government, but yet, when it comes to oversight on our highly important voting machines, there is absolutely NONE AT ALL! This is an outrage to say the least, and yeah, the electoral college is a joke as well. It's setup the way it is because they assume the average American is stupid.

  • in australia, a lot of people who i do politics with at uni were really freaked out to find out about the methodology behind US presidental elections, especially given how powerful the president is not only in the US but in their global influence. having a unrepresentative president doesn't only affect americans, it affects the whole world.
