Although the cartoon Simpson family did once help Krusty the Clown run for Congress as a Republican with the aid of Fox News, their general learning is clearly towards the Democrats. In a leaked clip from the upcoming Halloween episode of The Simpsons, Homer declares when faced with an electronic voting machine, "I want to vote for Obama. ... It's time for a change."
The machine, however, has ideas of its own, which it enforces more and more violently. "This doesn't happen in America!" screams Homer. "Maybe Ohio, but not in America.
One blogger notes that it would "be funny if it didn't seem eerily plausible."
"We really made a fun one," executive producer Al Jean says of the episode.
The leaked clip was posted on YouTube by "deebold08," a user name referring to charges that Diebold voting machines have been used to steal elections.
This video is from YouTube, broadcast October 2, 2008.
