Calling 2012 Elections Before the Final Count Is Unethical - Let Me Explain

The Hawaiian election polls had only been closed for a very short time before Mitt Romney gave his concession speech. He probably felt he had to because it looked as if the Electoral College math could not give him a victory. But the reality is anything could happen, and California and several other very large populated states only had a fraction of the ballots counted. Okay so, let's talk shall we?

You see, CNN projected President Obama the winner of the election when only 10% of the ballots were counted in CA, and within 15-20 minutes all the other networks followed suit. In the swing state of Ohio, the coal miner area counties hadn't been counted and several networks; ABC, FOX, CBS, and CNN all had given Ohio to President Obama, thus clinching the election. These types of things disenfranchise the voters, making them believe their votes don't count, and whereas, they might not count for much, each one is a personal vote for themselves, their family, and their country moving forward.

How dare we dishonor their votes, many had to go out of their way to vote, taking off work, driving their cars as .00 a gallon, and standing in line donating their cause to their duty as citizens. How completely disrespectful the TV networks are to be the first to declare a winner. They feel it is their right as media outlets, after they do exit polling without the actual vote count, all this after their survey pollsters have actually shaped the outcome in advance. Does the voter even matter anymore, is all this a big show, somehow rigged by mass media.

In some ways this is the epitome of socialism crushing down the will of the individual and the human spirit - showing how they don't matter - because everyone else or even the "majority" has already decided. That in and of itself is pretty anti-American, indeed it goes against everything we stand for. As a citizen of California who votes against the grain, that is to say other than left-leaning socialism, I am appalled at the disrespect. Indeed, I had learned my lesson once some 20-years ago, and hadn't voted since.

Still, in this last election, 2012 election, I realized that although my vote counts for squat, I still decided that this might well be the most important election in 30-years - so I voted. Only to be disrespected again by the quick concession speech, and hardcore push by the Cable Networks to get it over with. I am quite convinced my ballot, provisional, won't be counted for days, and maybe not at all unless there was an extremely close race in my district.

If we fail to honor the votes, and voices of our citizens, then we will alienate them. I am concerned, not for me, I intellectually understand all the myriad of issues involved in why things happen the way they do, but rather I am worried we are busy ripping the hearts and souls out of good Americans that really care, training them that they don't matter at all. What kind of message does that send? I would submit to you it sends the wrong message.
