[center][/center]
1. Bain Capital outsourced Nevada GOP vote counting to Bangladesh
2. Radio Shack TRS80 computer used to tabulate votes broke down
3. We were busy playing craps at the casino and didn't think it really mattered that much
4. With the count stuck at 43% for so many hours, it gave us enough time for properly deciding which votes were sufficiently believable
5. The Nevada GOP liked all the media interest we got from our rigged 2008 GOP Convention
6. Sharron Angle insisted on seeing GOP chairwoman Amy Tarkanian's birth certificate
7. Sheldon Adelson's special private caucus could not find enough Republican Jewish voters
8. Media spies everywhere - took time to intimidate and evict them
9. Casino employees actually wanted to participate - we can make exceptions for the uber-religious but we've got to draw the line somewhere
10. Votes for "Willard Mittington Romney" were sometimes mistaken as ballot sabotage and placed in the Mickey Mouse / Dudley Do-Right bin
