I dunno about Obamagate, but mail voting should not be allowed for anyone able enough to walk. Lazy fuckers. Get to the polling station. I do it even when I'm not going to vote.
Yay, but the UK doesn't have the same kind of voter suppression problem the US has. I always vote in person, but if I had to potentially wait 3 hours at a polling place on a work day, I wouldn't.
