MSNBC just reported that Virginia doesn't know they're a different state from West Virginia?

[Ian David]

Am I understanding correctly?

Thousands of angry Virginia voters are calling election officials screaming that their polling places are closed...

Because WEST Virginia votes today.

Seriously?

[laconicsax]

1. Seriously?

Ha!

[Ian David]

3. If I heard correctly, yes. I'm pretty sure that's what Brian Williams just told Big Giant Head. n/t

[Happyhippychick]

2. I thought VA had caucuses today?

[Zueda]

5. No we're part of Chesapeake Tuesday next week...

We have an open primary not a caucus.

[Happyhippychick]

6. Ah yes. Sorry. Was thinking about my sister in Colorado - she has a caucus today.

[Ian David]

10. Apparently thousands of Virginians are confused and thought they were supposed to vote today. n/t

[Zueda]

24. That's because we're FIRED UP!

can't wait to VOTE! :D

[Invidious]

4. VA primary is Feb 12th n/t

7. This reminds me of a problem a friend had trying to buy Olympics tickets.

They called a phone number to buy tickets to The Salt Lake City Olympics, and they were told they had to call a different phone number for INTERNATIONAL sales.

Because they were calling from NEW Mexico.

They even argued with the operator that NEW Mexico was a state, not a foreign country.

8. Well that just crazy cause Virginia doesn't vote until Feb 12th. as I read it...

West Virginia isn't until May....

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

9. Hundreds of voters calling in to complain poll spots not open.

These folks are determined to vote, and a week early to boot!


~Is this a new one for democracy?

[Ian David]

11. I'm going to call Downing Street and complain that I didn't get to vote for Parliament!

I do, after all, live in New England!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

15. LOL! Williams then advised the State of Virginia to Stand Down

and go vote next week. :D

[Ian David]

17. And to just stay home and enjoy MSNBCs political coverage.

Does he really think that people who don't know what day to vote actually watch MSNBC's political coverage?

No, of course not.

They're watching Captain Phonesex on Fox Noise Channel playing b-roll footage of boobies.

[Bluebear]

12. I called Las Vegas, I didn't get to vote for Miss America.

[Happyhippychick]

13. I just saw this on the news. Doesn't speak well of Virginians but we still love them.

[Ian David]

19. No, not really. And I don't. Present company excepted. n/t

16. There is the old story...

about the guy getting arrested in Virginia for having a fake I.D., one that claimed to be from the made up state of "West Virginia."

[redqueen]

18. Idiocracy, dude.

:banghead:

[rucky]

20. I wonder if New Mexico has the same problem on Mexican election day.

:shrug:

[OzarkDem]

21. Freepers?

Turning out for Obama?

[golddigger]

23. Oh my God! I was laughing so hard I started choking...

my wife was ready to call 911.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[davidwparker]

22. You can never misunderestimate the stupidity of Americans. This Virginian

knows the voting is next Tuesday. Voting for Obama.

[golddigger]

25. Yep, here's what H.L. Mencken wrote in 1920...

"As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L.Mencken (1880-1956)

[damntexdem]

26. Still won't accept the results of the Civil War, eh?

Well, they should have Greeley's advice and gone west when they had the chance. ;-)
