Now that the wishes of 14 million primary voters have been democratically swept aside, the importance of the ballots counted in 10 cities will determine who wins the general election for President. Every legitimate vote needs to be counted, and I am sure they will. But on Nov. 5 (and probably the days following), the ballots counted will determine the winner. The 10 cities are: Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Fairfax (Virginia), Phoenix, Reno, and Omaha. Yes, Omaha!
All the other votes are important, but the ballots counted in these 10 cities are the most important. So, please get out and exercise your constitutional right to vote.
