DON'T VOTE STRAIGHT TICKET--Hacking Threat!!
Forgive my on-screen yelling. BluegrassDem has a vital thread here...except he gave it a "blind" headline ("IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: If you don't want your vote hacked tomorrow!!!"), so I thought I'd put it onto the board a bit more strongly.

The gist of BluegrassDem's thread is the reminder that straight-ticket votes are the easiest to hack, as we learned not so long ago.

This is urgent! DON'T JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF--SEND IT TO EVERY MEMBER OF EVERY LIB GROUP YOU BELONG TO!!

Thanks!

I just want to recommend that all of you who are going to be voting on a voting-machine tomorrow, please bring your video-cell phones with you to record any possible irregularities that might occur.
If your vote switches in front of you on the screen, you’ll be able to prove it.
Since this is my first post on DU, I suggest someone make a thread on this so more people get the word.
Thanks

3. But don't get caught because a camera is illegal in most polling places.

5. Smart idea. Is that legal, though?
Even if it is, might you get the phone confiscated anyway?

4. I have suspected that the straight-ticket could be subject to glitches.
PLEASE VERIFY YOUR VOTES @ THE END BEFORE SUBMITTING!!!

You may repost this thread, but please be more specific. It looks like you're telling people not to vote for Democrats tomorrow.

Specifically, BlueGrassDem suggests that people vote for Democrats individually as opposed to voting straight ticket.

Here's the original thread:
