Poll Rage? Man Breaks Machines At Polling Location

"A 61-year-old man was arrested after an alleged poll rage incident, NewsChannel5 reported.

Officials said the man was arrested after breaking a voting machine. He faces disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and resisting arrest charges.

It took several people to restrain the man who was trying to vote at a 4330 Jennings Road.

It's unclear what caused the man to become upset."

On edit: For those of you who don't know, this is our first time using the electronic voting machines.

5. It would make an interesting . . .

. . . speculative fiction plot if very theoretically, in a country far far away, several thousand people or so decided to take similar actions on their theoretical nations voting day. What would happen? Who would save the day? Would the far away country in question have to revert to paper ballots? Hmmmmm. What if the machines doing the counting were rigged and it was an act of civil disobedience? Might the good guys win in the end?

people around here are getting really disgusted with their elected officials, as well as how things are going in the state and country.

and the poll workers told him not to worry, it was working fine.
