Allentown Technophobe Does His Duty As A Citizen In The Only Way He Knows How

A man in Allentown decided fuck this newfangled electronic voting shit and decided to go nuts on an electronic voting machine:

A man entered an Allentown polling site, signed in and proceeded to smash one of the electronic voting machines with a metal cat paperweight, poll volunteers said.

Michael Young, 43, of 375 Auburn St., will be charged with felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines, according to Ronald Manescu, chief of investigations for Allentown police.

Police gave no motive, but a source said Young, a registered Independent, believed Republicans had conspired to win the election by using electronic ballots. This is the first time electronic machines are being widely used in a Pennsylvania general election.

“He smashed it with the cat’s ears,” said volunteer Jim Govostis, who watched the incident unfold at Raker Center, a nursing home owned by Good Shepherd, a little before 1 p.m. [...]

Volunteer Shirley Rossetti said Young never spoke as he smashed the screen. “He did a job on it, didn’t he?” she said. “It’s frightening, because in this day and age, you just never know.”

You never know, indeed. American hero, that Michael Young. And his cat.
