Yesterday, Obama was reelected

We heard the exit-poll projections of the presidential election on November 6. Yesterday, the results of the actual election were announced. As predicted, the over-spending president will have another four years to destroy future generations.

Why is it so difficult to find legitimate election results? Even on election day, we weren’t looking at which electors were actually getting the votes. States were frequently handed to candidates before any official data was available. A lot of people criticized Romney for not conceding fast enough, but is it really so bad to resort to votes that count rather than unethical exit polling?

A lot of people insist that every vote counts. Even if your candidate doesn’t win, that doesn’t make your involvement in the process worthless. How can we say that? If that were really the case, candidates would concede only after the votes have been counted. Conceding on projections seems to indicate that votes don’t count, especially when states are given to candidates solely based on exit polls.

In addition to the problems with illegitimate election results that the media relies on, that’s not even how the election process works. Voters are voting for electors. While these electors are usually bound to candidates, they are the ones who actually elect the president. How did the actual presidential election compare to the election for electors? While I was wondering if they would move the date of the count off of Sunday, I never heard that they moved the date from the sixth to the fourth. The presidential election is so worthless that we’re not even informed about changes to dates.

People aren’t going to like what I’m about to say, but I feel that it needs to be said. Mitt Romney shouldn’t have conceded before January 4. He should have respected all voters, and he should have respected the process. At the very least, he should have waited to concede the presidential election until after the presidential election started.
