Election Day DUMBASS!!
Before I get to the Election Day DUMBASS of the DAY, I'd like to point out what I thought was the BEST part of the election.
NO, it wasn't the fact that the election was decided earlier than I thought (I didn't expect the winner to be named by NBC at 8:10pm), or that Obama won . . .
NO, the BEST part of the election was that FLORIDA became IRRELEVANT!
When Obama won Ohio - thus, winning the election - it meant Florida no longer mattered in the election!
The state with the hanging chads, the state responsible for the Dumbass of the Day, the state where voters waited SIX HOURS in some locations, is STILL undecided as of this morning. And it doesn't even matter!
And it's a good thing Florida doesn't matter. Because last night, in the middle of an important election, election officials in Dade County stopped counting ballots!
WHY? Because they were tired.
What?! They were tired? It’s only a Presidential Election, which happens once every four years. Sorry if you have to stay up past midnight to count ballots to determine the leader of the free world.
DUMBASS(es) of the DAY!
Hey ELECTION OFFICIALS: If a voter is wearing an MIT sweatshirt, that doesn't mean she's campaining for MITT ROMNEY.
Let's go to Boca Raton, Florida, where a voter was initially banned from voting because she showed up wearing a sweater with the initials M-I-T.
Since election law clearly states that there is no campaigning allowed within several yards of a polling place, the woman was told she couldn't vote, and that she had to leave the premises.
The problem was that the election volunteers had apparently never heard of the MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, which is a pretty popular school for the very smart - the type of people who know that Mitt Romney’s first name is spelled with two Ts.
Either that, or the election volunteers thought to themselves, "Okay, NO ONE from Florida is smart enough to go to MIT. This voter is NOT from here!"
After googling M-I-T, and conferring with an election supervisor, the woman was allowed to vote.
