Election officials worried that people might actually try and vote this year
The election isn't for a few more months, but election officials are already apologizing for ruining everything. The introduction of new voting machines is expected to baffle voters and poll workers alike. Plus, with the influx of first-time voters expected to flood the polls thanks to that jerk Barack Obama and his "restoring faith in the American electoral process" charade, election officials are predicting a "perfect storm" of incompetence and disenfranchisement.
But their preparations go beyond simply taking a pre-emptive crap in the pants. Election officials are working overtime to ramp up poll worker training and introduce simplified ballot design. Check out their new improved poll training manual, geared specifically toward this year's predicted blockbuster turnout:
