Election Day problems: Share what you see (CBS news wants your help!)

For many Americans, the trip to the voting booth Tuesday will be unremarkable in certain respects--put the check mark next to the favored candidate's name, put the ballot in the ballot box, and be done with it.

For others, however, the experience will be fraught with some sort of frustration, from faulty voting machines to interminable waits and other inconveniences.

If you fall into the latter group, our colleagues at CBS News Investigates want to hear from you. Document the irregularities or other problems you encounter with your cell phone camera, Flip videocam, or other device, and then upload that content to the CBS News social-media site CBS Eye Mobile. Alternatively, you can submit by e-mail to the address politics@cbseyemobile.com.

The CBS News Investigates team will monitor those submissions, and may then present select ones in election coverage at CBSNews.com or in on-air reports.

I am guessing the sorts of things FReepers might report is not exactly what CBS is looking for, but hey, let's be neighborly and help CBS out!

NPR did a recent story on the theft of political signs. They didn't have an actual number, but the general feeling I got was that 99.9999% of all stolen political signs are Obama/Biden signs which have been taken by rabid extremist right-wing fanatics who like Sarah Palin.

I'll be interested in the CBS report about election day problems. I wonder who will be hit hardest?

[SECURE AMERICA]

If they wanted stories on improper or problem or illegal voting they should have been following the Obama campaign around

[barbarianbabs]

Gee, I would help but I deleted CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, & ABC from my channel line-up. It is so nice without them in my life.

[Gaffer]

CBS only wants to hear from disaffected Obama voters who were wrongfully their Obama-given right to multiple votes.

[onevoter]

Article states, “The CBS News Investigates team will monitor those submissions, and may then present select ones in election coverage at CBSNews.com or in on-air reports.”

In CBS-speak that means, if you are a Republican and can prove beyond a doubt that there is funny business going on, we are not interested. However, if you are a Dem and felt alienated or uncomfortable or feel you MAY have pulled the wrong lever, we will certainly air your complaint.

[counterpunch]

I see BS from CBS.

[Gaffer]

wrongfully denied.....

[Godsgirl]

CBS wants your help.

Ha,Funny, The republican party is still waiting for theirs.

[purplelobster]

CBS stock tanked more heavily than most other Company’s, so now they have to pick up the slack by using free content supplied from viewers.

[Gasshog]

SeeBS must be hurting they need viewers content to keep the “show” going. pitiful.

[Mr. K]

hey SeeBS!! I SEE SOME ACORN PEOPLE REGISTERING DEAD PEOPLE!!!
HEY....ANYONE????

.....*crickets*.......

[Freedom4US]

Do you suppose they would be interested in say, illegal aliens voting? How about illegal registrations? How about dead people casting votes?

Any democrat ought to be enraged that the “will of the people” be subverted, no?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So if someone stops a person from voting more than once CBS wants to know about it.

99.9999% of all stolen political signs are Obama/Biden signs which have been taken by rabid extremist right-wing fanatics who like Sarah Palin.

Yes, that would be me. Did I do wrong?

I've seen about 30 million illegal aliens voting and getting free health care, education, and housing, and causing weak American government and business organizations to supply instructions in a foreign language. Does this count?

[Doohickey]

All I’m going to see is a bunch of Fauxbama and Barney Fag voting Massholes since I’m in the Gay State this week.

[Sign Guy]

Speaking of signs I put out a bunch of these but they never stayed in place long. "http://www.flickr.com/photos/32124341@N08/3001431808 "
