Balloting breakdown: Pa. voter attacks machine
‘He just snapped’ after encountering touchscreen gear, poll workers say

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A would-be voter in Pennsylvania was arrested Tuesday at a polling place in Allentown after smashing an electronic voting machine with a paperweight, according to poll workers.

Authorities didn’t know what caused the outburst.

“He came in here very peaceably and showed his ID, then he got on the machine and just snapped,” volunteer Gladys Pezoldt told the Morning Call of Allentown.

The machine’s screen was damaged and it was not immediately clear if votes recorded on the machine could be retrieved.

Police said the man faced charges of felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines.

Liberals are always thinking up new ways to rig an election! Brilliant!

Look, as an individual with "San Francisco Values" I know that true liberals hug things, not attack them. This was obviously an evangelist on meth.

My polling site was being operated by a bunch of 4-foot Bea Arthur types. After I submitted my votes, there was a huge circle of them arguing. Minutes later, one of them is getting a lesson on how to operate the machine AFTER I exited. Almost makes me wonder whether or not my votes will be counted.

Still pure paper ballots here in Victor. Machines would make the old mormon's heads explode...in a cloud of blue hair dye.

Now that Santorum lost his bid for re-election, he'll probably goose-step into a political appointee or right-wing think tank job taking his orders directly from Field Marshall Von-Cheney. That or he'll suck up to a K street lobbying job paying four or five times what he made as a senator. Whichever he chooses will be telling in how sincere he was in his right-wing fascist beliefs.

In any case, good riddance.
