    An Arizona woman, in despair at the re-election of Democratic President Barack Obama, ran down her husband with the family car in suburban Phoenix on Saturday because he failed to vote in the election, police said on Monday.

    Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested after running over husband Daniel Solomon following a wild chase that left him pinned underneath the vehicle.
    Daniel Solomon, 36, was in critical condition at a local hospital, but is expected to survive, Gilbert police spokesman Sergeant Jesse Sanger said.
    Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his "lack of voter participation" in last Tuesday's presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.
    Witnesses reported the argument broke out on Saturday morning in a parking lot and escalated. Holly Solomon then chased her husband around the lot with the car, yelling at him as he tried to hide behind a light pole, police said. He was struck after attempting to flee to a nearby street.
    Obama won the national election with 332 electoral votes compared with 206 for Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Arizona's 11 electoral votes were won by Romney.

    So many things wrong with this,

    -Killing your husband will bring you far more hardship than a democratic president.

    -Crashing your car into things will cause you hardship

    -Romney already won Arizona. His vote would have been irrelevant

    -Why wouldn't you just stay behind the lamp post?

    In before people predictably make a bunch of jokes about this which would get them lynched if the genders had been reversed...

    Hah, he survived. Looooouuser. Didn't vote right, didn't run the husband over properly. What's next, a crappy book? Or a fast track to the Jerry Springer show?

    Assuming he gets rid of her? I know it's an awful stereotype but I think these kinds run thick together and forgive a lot.

    Yeah they could be the Jerry Springer type I suppose. But you'd think attempted murder would be a bit of a deal breaker.

    He didn't vote.

    And predictably enough she used an SUV.



    Also how tough would it be for a single mum if the Republicans had won ?

    Imagine if that happened here every time someone didn't vote!
    Population would be more that halved. This would lead to unemployment going down.
    This might not be such a bad idea.
    When's the next election/referendum?? :pac:
