VoteCastr will attempt to tell the world what the vote for president is, in eight swing states, starting at 11 a.m. eastern time on election day. VoteCastr does this by first obtaining the names of voters who voted early, and then by using exit pollsters in seven of those states (but not in Colorado, where the vast majority of votes are cast by mail). The seven states are Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Slate explains how VoteCastr works here. Thanks to Political Wire for this news.
Here’s an idea. Why not wait until all the votes are counted, then declare a winner?
I like what VoteCastr is trying to do. If people who are worried about “spoiling”, they can wait until election day afternoon or evening and then vote happily, if the information on who is going to win is already known.
Alaskans and Hawaiians have always had this luxury, ever since they have been states.
On going destruction of SECRET ballots for fun and games or what ???
How about ONE year terms (at most) for the various MONSTERS in the Fed, State and local regimes ???
i.e. NONSTOP election campaigning — to get SOME discussion about nice and happy TAX parasites (who pay NO NET taxes — lots of govt officers, employees, govt contractors and welfare folks ) and the more and more TAX slaves (who pay NET taxes — to the TAX parasites).
The CRISIS in USA history is NOW — which has deja vu all over again happened in all sorts of blown up regimes in the past.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. — for SOME stability in regimes.
Demo Rep- One year terms is probably the worst thing imaginable. If everyone is out constantly campaigning, then no one is in Washington voting on bills.
In that case, let’s have daily elections just to make sure they stop screwing things up in Washington.
Question will our intelligence agencies be involved in the Elections.I want to see the total votes when the elections end.
Did you see the story about planned terror attacks on Monday or fear of.Maybe a Donald Trump supporter will commit violence.Like blowing up a federal building in the Midwest.He has white nationalist support.
I always wondered if a retard with barely functioning motor skills and internet access, randomly pressing keys and pushing buttons, could potentially do so in such an unlikely, random order that it would result in them accidentally accessing a website and managing to post comments. The answer is a resounding “Yes!”. Thank you for finally answering that question for me, William Sollenberger.
This is actually the same thing that news organizations were chastised for doing years ago when they would call a state for a certain candidate before the polls in that state closed. In essence, they were accused of influencing the election. They now wait until after the states polls close before they call the race in that state.
I think any organization that does something that could influence the vote like that is wrong. For all we know, their exit polling is flawed or inaccurate and they are reporting erroneous information. Until the vote is actually counted, nobody knows who is really ahead.
In addition, it could also adversely effect the down ticket. If people hear their candidate is losing, they may fail to show up at the polls, causing the remainder of the vote for the other offices that need to be filled to be skewed.
Change the two 4 year terms to one 8 year term. That way they will not be campaigning for the second term as soon as they get elected.
I am supporting Gary Johnson.For a time info.Not a candidate backed by Alex Jones
I have a right to my opinions.No one ever addresses issue of the non voters.I have been interested in politics and radical politics since the 80s.I listen to Coast to Coast Am with George Noory.I so believe in some conspiracy theories.I want to see the elections disrupted.
For your info iam backing Gary Johnson.Not the establishment hacks.
There have been media reports about planned terror attacks in Texas Virginia and New York.Its all speculation.
See the 1933 Reichstag Fire (an alleged communist plot) — an excuse for the TYRANT mass murderer Hitler to take over Germany in 1933-1945 — with about 70 MILLION dead folks in World War II in 1939-1945.
I.E. Obama would LOVE to declare one more *national emergency* and put ALL non-Donkey robots in jail or worse.
History note – several of the early State regimes after 1776 had 6 month terms for State legislators —
i.e. May and November elections.
Now there are more and more 4 year terms for both State Reps and State Senators — i.e. public be damned — total control by special interest gangs.
This is outrageous and immoral for all the reasons mentioned above.
Demo Rep,
Wasn’t it only Rhode Island that had six month terms?
Can this race still be thrown into the House of Representatives.I noticed Clinton has received more campaign contributions than Trump.So the establishment probably give the race to Clinton.
Completely agree, want to hear of a Trumps demise without a seconds delay
