There is somewhat confirmed rumor that that US government purchased 30,000 modern guillotines. Nice steel frames. Quality bearings. Engineered to cut off 100 heads per hour. Nothing as quaint as the old wood model in your picture.
Hmm...69.5 million 0bama voters divided by 30,000 is 2317, at 100 an hour, less than a day.
Just playing with my calculator a little. Nothing to see here...
