Our results have already been determined. Nationally, we have voters too dumb to read a ballot, find a registrar, or even go to the polls on election day. We have officials too lazy to count ballots and too partisan to care about ethics. Primary delegates had no obligation to vote their candidate on the first ballot, turning the conventions into "sham-farces" Maybe we should just do like Illinois and determine the winner in Smoke[and mirror] filled rooms and skip the elections altogether. Or we could just determine the winner by Media accolade. No problem in Illinois! Our results have already been determined.
