...even a half hour after the polls close:
Report: Robber backed Obama for president
WARREN - A Parkman Road store clerk told police a robber asked him several times who he had voted for, and ordered him to vote for President Obama.
The clerk at the Convenient Store, 3120 Parkman Road, told police a man with his face covered and holding a gun came in about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday. He first demanded a customer give him "everything," then told the clerk to give him everything. The clerk said he gave the robber cash before the robber reached over the counter and took the drawer from the cash register, police reports state.
The robber then pointed the gun at the clerk and asked him who he voted for, reports state. The clerk said he was not allowed to vote, to which the gunman then said "Vote for Obama. This is Obama (expletive)," before fleeing.
The store has security video, and police collected swabs of possible spit from the robber, the report states.

Even idiots support the president. He's very popular, especially around here.
I doubt this guy voted for anyone that day.
