I'll give you obviously edited, but why so sure about the other two?

  I can't even give obviously edited. Ever used a lower-end Android phone? I have, and this looks like a video directly from one. Jittery, frame skipping mess. Edit: Also, it's been verified and taken offline. http://tv.msnbc.com/2012/11/06/machine-turns-vote-for-obama-into-one-for-romney/ http://tv.msnbc.com/2012/11/06/machine-turns-vote-for-obama-...

    Obviously edited b/c of the distinct scene cut between the candidate selection that takes up the first half of the video, and the cast vote button which takes up the second half. All the commenter was saying was that whoever shot the video didn't share it before first splicing two different shots together.

      "All the commenter was saying was that whoever shot the video didn't share it before first splicing two different shots together." That's not all the commenter was saying. OP was claiming the original video was staged and fake. He was accusing the Redditor if deception.

Evidence, citations? Not at all obvious. On the surface, looks quite real. And I've had enough touch-screen devices to know that mis-calibration is common, so it's plausible.

I agree. It looks absolutely fake to me. But according to other sources it was confirmed =\

    Bias is one thing (I'm a liberal and I fully admit that MSNBC is biased towards the left), making facts up whole cloth is another. Call me when they verifiably lie, ala Fox, and then we'll talk.
