The AP is reporting problems with election voting machines forcing poll workers to go with paper ballots.
And even where the machines were working correctly, the poll workers weren't:
"In Indiana's Marion County, about 175 of 914 precincts turned to paper because poll workers didn't know how to run the machines, said Marion County Clerk Doris Ann Sadler. She said it could take most of the day to fix all of the machine-related issues."

It is being reported that not only is Bully the violent video game everyone was expecting, but you get to make out with other boys as well.
"Bully" stars 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins, who must navigate cliques, fights and young love at his new boarding school, along the way winning brawls, completing missions and plying girls with candy and flowers in exchange for kisses. But Jimmy can also use the same approach with boys.
This may cause far more controversy than anything brought up about the game so far, but not in a good way.
