This Minnesota voter has a sense of humor
He or she found a clever way to turn his vote into a message on the election bu using the write in spaces. Here is the poem:





You need to
make voting
easier to do
This is
ridiculous
Enough with the
political ads
This is
what happens
when you
bombard me
with them
Al Franken and
Norm Coleman
are so annoying
they’re repugnant
From now on
I’ll give up
my right
to vote
if I get
beat down
with that
Advertise that
Minnesota
I’d
rather
have
Nick
DiPalo
for
President
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha
Ha

I bet this voter never thought it would be published for all to see!

1. What a Maroon
Why would you even bother to take the time to vote if you're going to throw it away like this? So annoying.

2. Very creative! Bravo. If you want to throw your vote away, at least do it with a message.

5. What an idiot. Way to waste fifteen minutes and a vote (in an incredibly close election)
on a message only one overworked human (who did not work for a campaign) was likely to briefly glance over.

7. He/She did NOT vote for Obama, I am NOT laughing. NT
Instead, I am symbolically hitting that ballot with my shoe in insult.

8. WTF? Nick DiPaolo? Isn't he that wingnut comedian that got PWNED by Shepard Smith?
I distinctly remember a vid clip floating around the net where Nick DiPaolo was claiming that the media was the whole reason why Obama won and he was so obnoxious that Shepard Smith (who is PAID TEN FREAKING MILLION to be as inoffensive as possible) got pissed off and went off on him.

10. It would be sweet irony if Franken won by 1 vote
and this guy would have voted for Coleman. BTW, the article mentions that this ballot was a Coleman challenge.

11. IF you live in a county like mine, where there are a lot of races with
Edited on Sat Nov-22-08 10:56 AM by tanyev
only one candidate and it is a republican, then it wouldn't hurt to do write-in (type-in) votes for someone named Paper Ballots. Just sayin.....
