In Oregon, ballot measure 92 would’ve have required the labeling of foods with GMO’s in them. Quite naturally, the corporate sponsors against Measure 92 in Oregon declared victory in their battle to keep the citizens of Oregon uninformed. The largest newspaper in the state, the Oregonian, in its role of chief fabricator of news and commentary to mislead the 99 percent, declared on November 4, 2014 that the ballot measure had been defeated.

It turns out the measure was too close to call, and now it shall go to a recount. Clatsop County began its hand recount a few hours ago. Oregon counties have until December 12 to finish counting the votes.

The editors of the Oregonian published an editorial calling for voter suppression a couple of weeks ago. They endorsed a bill currently stalled in the US congress that would ban initiatives and legislation on state and local levels that would ban GMOs and require the labeling of GMO in foods. Voter suppression! That shows you how biased in favor of the 0.01 percent the reporters and editors of the Oregonian newspaper are. The newspaper is a tool of the 1 percent in their war against the 99 percent.

Don’t read the Oregonian newspaper. Don’t subscribe to it. End the propaganda. Put it out of business! Boycott the rag that calls itself a newspaper.

How is it that exit polls are 100 percent accurate in predicting the winner of an election whenever a Republican has run for national or state office, but they’re wrong now and then when the Democratic candidate wins the exit polls? If there is a flaw in the exit polls then the law of averages says that some Republican candidates should win the exit polls, but lose the race, but that has never happened. There is a reason for this. There is no flaw in the highly accurate exit polls. There’s only election fraud with the winner being determined before the votes are counted.

That’s precisely how Scott Walker survived his recall election a few weeks ago. The exit polls saw him running neck and neck with Democratic rival Tom Barrett. Now the exit polls do have a margin of error of roughly 5/10th of 1 percent, so it is possible that Walker would’ve won, but we’ll never know. Somebody decided they couldn’t leave things to chance so fraud allowed Walker to win a neck and neck race by 6 percent.

All you have to do is control the electronic voting machines. They’re easily hacked. Whoever controls the voting machines determines the winner of elections. In other words, if you vote Democratic or Independent, your vote no longer counts since the 80 percent of the electronic voting machines are controlled by Republicans. Democracy is dead for the citizens who vote in states that use machines by Diebold and other companies that manufacture and maintain the machines.

It’s true that most voters in Wisconsin used paper ballots to vote, but those ballots were counted by easily hacked machines.

Okay, exit polls aren’t perfect, but they were 100 percent accurate until the presidential election of 2000 pushed George Bush into the oval office. Now why all of a sudden have exit polls become more inaccurate?

Yesterday, the exit polls showed a dead even race between Tom Barrett and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The election was anyone’s to win. But Walker won by six points. The Republicans have a long history of election fraud over the last twelve years. The Wisconsin recall election was probably no different.

For example, in 2004 an electronic voting machine was found to have credited President Bush with 3,893 extra votes in a suburb of Columbus where only 638 people voted. During that presidential election, 150,000 Democrats were taken off the voter rolls by the Republican Secretary of State between the primary and the general election. Nobody told them, so they had no chance to appeal. When those people voted, they didn’t know they’d been whacked off the rolls. So the exit polls showed John Kerry defeating President Bush in Ohio, but when the votes of the legal voters were counted, Bush won by less than 130,000 votes. In other words, Kerry really defeated Bush in Ohio and won the presidential election, but election fraud stopped what should’ve been.

Below is the story from Reuters about the exit polls in Wisconsin, and below that are the stories of fraud in Ohio in 2004. However, election fraud has been discovered in several different states that Bush really lost. Now how could those exit polls be wrong? Let me count the way.

(Reuters) – Exit polls show the Wisconsin recall election on Tuesday is essentially tied between

Governor Scott Walker and Democratic challenger Tom Barrett, CNN said.

The CNN data is based on interviews with voters after they cast ballots and not on actual results.

Most polling stations closed at 8 p.m. CT (9 p.m. EDT), although voters in line to were allowed to cast ballots after the official deadline. First results were expected to begin trickling in from around the state soon after the polls closed, although the winner might not be known for hours.

Walker is only the third governor in U.S. history to face a recall from office. He angered Democrats and unions when he championed a law to severely restrict the collective bargaining of unionized state and local government workers. Walker said the changes were necessary to close a large state budget deficit.

Where was the Corporate Democratic Party in the lead up to the recall election of Governor Scott Walker? The national Democratic Party was no where to be seen during the weeks leading up to the election, until it put in a relatively paltry 100K during the last five days.

This suggests only one thing. The Corporate Democratic Establishment wanted the base to lose in Wisconsin. Labor unions force the establishment to listen to their arguments in order to get their votes, even if the establishment barely listens. The establishment prefers to listen to the billionaire club, which funds their elections. You know. People like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, as well as members of financial companies like Goldman Sachs.

Those are the people that benefit from the destruction of labor unions. So quite naturally, the national Democratic establishment had no intention of helping its Wisconsin grass roots base, which was outspent six to one from mostly out of state money.

The Party establishment had to help in some miniscule way, so it tossed a measly 100K into the fight, most likely to show the base that it cares, when the folks at the top of the party don’t give a rats ass about the base. President Obama wouldn’t come to the aid of the union members of Wisconsin, so hopefully, they have learned their lesson, and they won’t work for Obama during the upcoming election season.

Wall Street is the financial base of the Democratic Party, not labor unions, and not working people. A victory for labor unions and working people is a defeat for Wall Street. This fact is not lost on the Democratic Party Establishment, and that includes Mr. Obama.

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) – Opponents of Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker said on Thursday they have collected 94 percent of the signatures necessary to force him into a recall election next year.

The group United Wisconsin, which opposes restrictions on public sector unions signed into law by Walker earlier this year, said it now hopes to gather 720,277 signatures by January 17 to force the recall election.

The group said it had already collected 507,533 of the 540,208 signatures required to force the vote.

Their goal of more than 700,000 signatures would represent 33 percent of the 2010 general election turnout and nearly 21 percent of all Wisconsin registered voters.

The few opinion polls on a Walker recall taken so far suggest a very close vote with the state polarized between outraged Democrats and Republicans who feel he did the right thing to improve the state’s finances.

In response to the announcement by petition organizers, Republicans said they were confident Walker would survive any recall effort.

“Wisconsin voters … have zero desire to go back to the failed policies of the past,” said Ben Sparks, spokesman for the Wisconsin Republican Party.

Walker’s campaign announced that it had raised more than $5.1 million from 46,976 individual donors. “We have seen an outpouring of support for the governor and the steps he has taken during his first year in office to lay the foundation for a more successful Wisconsin,” said Walker’s communications director Ciara Matthews.

Walker, elected in 2010 with 52 percent of the vote, and a Republican-controlled legislature, passed a raft of controversial measures this year including strict limits on the power of public sector unions.

The anti-union measure triggered a fierce political backlash from Democrats and union supporters.

Republicans also passed a voter ID law opposed by Democrats and concealed carry gun legislation

Six Republican state senators faced recall last summer over their vote in favor of the union restrictions and two were recalled.

Organizers of the current effort to recall Walker have to submit the signatures to the state’s Government Accountability Board, which will then determine their validity.

GAB officials said this week they may need more than the 31 days allowed by law to finish the process.

Once the petitions are verified a date would be set for the election and Democrats would pick a candidate to oppose Walker.

Walker’s campaign on Thursday filed a lawsuit saying the process for reviewing recall petitions is illegal because it puts the onus on targeted politicians to find duplicate signatures.

In addition to Walker, as many as 17 state senators — 11 Republicans and six Democrats — and the state’s Republican lieutenant governor could face recall elections next year.

State rules allow such special votes if the lawmaker has been in office for at least one year and has not already faced recall.

Republicans hold a comfortable majority in the State House of Representatives but the political balance of the state Senate is 17 Republicans and 16 Democrats.
