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-...

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.

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.
