Breaking: Poll Workers Are Idiots

Ahh, yes, this video was shooting across the conservative Internets yesterday as some sort of example of “Philadelphia voter intimidation.” To me it looks more like “poll watcher intimidation,” since I don’t quite see any voters being intimidated. In fact, to call it “voter intimidation” would be what we in the biz call “a lie.”

Highlight of the short, though:

• The cameraman saying, “Call the cops, I dare y–” before realizing how stupid that would sound.
• The look on the woman’s face when she says you’re not going to be getting in.
• The random dude at the end who after being denied entry goes, “The cops are right here, you fools!” (This is a DP kid, isn’t it?)
• Oh, and a tipster said that someone talking on this video is noted Penn online columnist Stephen Morse. (Behind the camera?) God, I love this city.

Ahh, Philadelphia. Congratulations, poll workers and poll watchers at “the scene at 6125 Market Street.” You’ve surely done your part for democracy by all being ridiculously annoying.

Update: Kid in the video is Stephen Morse. But of course.
