Election 2012 coverage comes to Xbox Live August 27

4.4
Your Xbox 360 could just serve as your hub for 2012 US election season, Microsoft has announced. Beginning August 27, Xbox Live members will be able to access the Election 2012 hub, which promises to include NBC News coverage, information about candidates, daily polls and live coverage of the presidential debates and the Democratic and Republican conventions. Certain events, including the debates, will also allow viewers to participate in live polls. Users will even be able to register to vote via their console.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has dabbled in Xbox Live election coverage. The company hosted a similar program during the 2008 election.

You still won't be able to vote obviously, it's just coming to Xbox to provide coverage for the younger people so that they can watch it and get in the spirit, however, no-one will even look at it though aha

It's only "coverage", there isn't any other way to vote except at a booth.

This will be good for about 5% of people who are interested on Xbox , whereas the other 95% of people who are kids won't care :/

Minecart You can tell this is photoshopped.
1)The controller is on.
2) The sleeve that's holding the controller is a different color than his suit..
