Quite possible that the election will be stolen. The seemingly bizarre poll numbers may simply be cover for massive vote fraud. If the MSM polls are calling it a close Obama victory then nobody will be shocked if it happens that way, even though we know the polls are skewed with an oversampling of Dems.

The only way to stop fraud is the Canadian system. We have scrutineers from each party at every polling booth. The metal box is locked when it gets to the polling station. It is opened in the presence of all scrutineers. They all count the number of ballots in the box. Each ballot has to be initialled before it’s given to the voter. When the voter brings back the marked ballot the piece with the initials is torn off before it goes in the box. Any spoiled ballot is initialled by each of the scrutineers and put in a separate envelope. When the voting is done, each ballot is shown to every scrutineer and counted at least twice. Any disputed ballot is put in a separate envelope that is sealed and initialled by the scrutineer. The tally at each poll has to be certified by each scrutineer. I’ve worked in polls many times and this is about as foolproof a system as I’ve seen for ensuring that votes are not miscounted. And having to produce ID in order to vote greatly reduces the risk of ineligible voters. Electronic voting has the potential for totalitarianism - see Hugo Chavez

The Canadian system sounds like a great idea and should be instituted immediately.

But with so many Democrats running so many things, and with far too many spineless Republicans in the House and Senate, it will never be accepted because it minimizes fraud, and we all know that with the lack of action by Republicans in power, they don’t care about it.

“scrutineers”, I like that word!

We should all be scrutineers. It gives us a fighting chance.
