Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.


Pretty amazing they are getting ready now for the 5417 to hit the fan.
I think that this is a view of things yet to come.

Researchers are warning of potential problems during the US election with record numbers set to vote and many states using new voting machines.

It seems the tempers are going to be getting high even before the winner is announced. I have been worried about this for quite some time now. Only time will tell in these troubling times.

I beleive if there were anything to that, the RNC would have been all over it long ago. Just Partisan nonsense by poor sports. Hillary would have been all over that like stink on a skunk in fact.

The problem is clearly if Obama looses. The damn polls are an issue too. They are so unreliable and if Obama looses their inaccuracy might be a catalyst. They should outlaw polling from thirty days out through the election anyway.

Not the same thing at all. If Obama looses the nationals with those polls showing him that far ahead, all hell could break loose in Chicago.

The stupid media didn't learn from their numerous past mistakes during
the Primary season. They're still standing outside the polling places
and asking we early voters how we voted. Everyone's saying, "Oh I
voted for Obama!" The pea-brained poll takers/media believe it and
are now starting to report a potential Obama landslide.

We, the listeners are sucking it up or they would not be doing that. I've thought since Clintons (Bill) first run that the polls should be stopped weeks prior too the election. Certainly they should outlaw exit polling.

But......exit polling is the only semi accurate judge of what actually happened.

Has anyone here seen the documentary "Hacking Democracy"? It's about the aftermath of either the 2000 or the 04 presidential election in Florida. Bev Harris of blackboxvoting was requesting actual poll tapes. She found them in garbage bags, storerooms etc. It was quite horrifying to see how easily an election can be fudged.
