On robocalling

One of the joys of election season is receiving automated electioneering phonecalls, or "robocalls". Especially when they're deceptive robocalls made to sound like they're from the opposition. Usually part of the conservative side's bag of tricks (not always, but usually).

So, in light of this, in addition to NeoCons and PaleoCons, I give you the new robotic Republican faction of dirty tricksters...DeceptiCons!

Done voting.

No paper ballots were available at the polling place, but the touchscreen machines were iVotronic (makes me picture a black silhouette of Voltron wearing white earphones), which according to some googling I just did have an internal paper receipt. Not as good as one I can SEE, mind you, as it's still too easy for it to be programmed to cheat invisibly, but better than nothing.

Decepticon: Bytesize

Presenting Bytesize, the little Deceptifemme who transforms into a jumpdrive...but doesn't size-shift for robot mode.
