Over 30 states have contracted with an offshore company owned by Soros to COUNT their votes!!!
IF we can put the Rover on Mars & a man on the moon, why cannot we count OUR OWN VOTES???

This election is “make or break” for the MSM. If they can’t deliver a winner they have no influence to sell. A Romney win would be devastating to them.
They don’t relish acknowledging The Disaster’s collapse any sooner than they have to.
If it is clear by 6 o’clock that The Disaster is gone, gone, gone like a cool breeze only the most confirmed political wonks, like us, will be watching their propaganda programs. Ratings will collapse.
Romney should call a huge press conference and release his college transcripts with a big fan fare. “Some people have questioned my educational credentials. And the People have a right to examine them. So I am having the universities I have attended to release certified copies of my transcripts for the PUBLIC to see.”
Wire service journalism - AP journalism, essentially - faces a potentially critical decision. It might perhaps not be too late to back down and make bluff like they were always being even-handed in this race as Romney gallops home uncontested. Pretty much the way that pollsters hype the prospects of Democrat candidates until just before the election, then publish serious estimates of the true strength of the candidates just before the election. Or, they can double down, assuming that they have so much propaganda power that they cannot be truly at the risk of entirely jumping the shark.And based on my understanding that journalists have never learned how to even try to be objective, I would predict the latter. All they know is how to put up a Potemkin Village facade of objectivity based solely on propaganda power. They will double down the same way that Dan Rather doubled down when he was caught promoting fraudulent “Texas Air National Guard memos.”
It will be interesting to see how much of a hit their brand takes in the process. It is tempting - right, abb? - to predict a make-or break crisis, but just as Adam Smith pointed out that “There is a lot of ruin in a country,” I would suggest that journalists have an enormous reservoir of (undeserved) good will - and they will still be around after they have gotten egg all over their faces this November.
Oh, yes, they’ll still be around. But their power will be diminished - that process is ongoing every day. Dead-tree newspapers are losing advertisers, as are the alphabet networks.
Just this week, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune went to three days per week publication.
However, until our side puts enough citizen reporters on the ground to counter the MSM, they will retain a goodly amount of power.
The Breibart model needs to be expanded.
My guess is that even Carville would not stoop to help this loser this time. But I may be wrong; since most sewer rats have higher ethical standards than influential media-darling Democrats.
"state-level estimates of the partisan, age or racial makeups of electorates won’t be available as they have been since 1992"
The results having been set in stone by Obama, should not be challenged by an exit poll.
