7. Possible but not probable IMHO

He's either going to have a REALLY good night tomorrow night- which is not currently indicated by the polling/early voting results- or there would have to be a pretty sophisticated vote manipulation operation in place though the probability of them being able to successfully pull it off seems fairly low. The polls are tight in some of the swing states but President Obama doesn't need all of them to win and in most of them he's ahead by a small but IMHO comfortable enough margin of victory that would probably be able to overcome any vote manipulation. Electoral reform IMHO needs to be put at the top of issues that need to be addressed during the next four years. We all need to be able to trust our electoral system and right now there is not a lot of trust, integrity, let alone consistency in our electoral system. I really think that we need some kind of federal guidelines for national elections and/or mechanisms at the state level to prevent all of the shenanigans we've seen during the past few elections.
