checking out the stuff as it unfolds, looking for clues as to how they might steal this election too since it seems to work out well for them.

Remember that all 77 counties voted for McCain last time. This is Oklahoma we are talking about.

Kinda like Fox with the D's and R's on their graphics...though I can't think of a single reason why. Must just be a keystroking error.

In 2008, it was McCain 65% to Obama 35% in Oklahoma, so a 58-29 poll advantage for Romney is unfortunately not a big surprise.

They're just preparing the way for the underlying electronic voter fraud that's going to happen.....they're making up #'s that will programmed into the vote counting / switching -- setting up the stage. There's nearly no way to tell, with electronic voting, if the results are all TRUE.

2000- I remember when Voter News Services was announcing all the 2000 results from the beginning of the evening, before many states had closed polling places. I was on a business trip to Chattanooga for that week and had done an absentee ballot at home. I drove to Nashville around 6pm, to see results and watch for Gore's appearance at the Museum. Found barricades in the downtown area and a policeman directed me to go to the Nashville Convention Center to a bi-partisan gathering in the lobby of the building. I walked along all the TV monitors that were up high....with groups of people in front of each one. Each monitor was on a different station....abc, nbc, cbs etc etc..all the stations had a montor, . and as I moved from TV to TV.....i noticed they were all posting the exact same numbers.....VERY early. How could that possibly be? It became so curious that I just continued watching each, studying it and getting more puzzled. When they announced Florida went for Gore....people were saying that was it and started to make their way up the hill to the Museum expecting Gore to come out in a few hours. Standing in that tremendous crowd, I heard from someone listening to a radio that they had taken the count for Florida away from Gore and gave it to Bush. It was about 11:30 by then and I had to drive back to Chattanooga by that time. On the drive back, listening to radio in the car, a station was explaining how all information they were all announcing came from the Voter News Service. Who the heck are they?....and how do they get official reporting from every county/state in the nation at the very early hours they were posting it..
Answer is THEY DON'T/CAN't --- it's mpossible to be done, tallied and communicated within minutes........my belief is that it was all a FARCE. SHAM numbers.
VNS just dissolved shortly after that....did it's lousy, nefarious job to throw the election..
Who was behind VNS????

We need open programming that's verifiable, access to server logs, and paper ballot trails. Little about today's electronic voting is trustworthy.
