The swing votes
Given the crazy way our Constitution sets up Presidential elections, Oregon voters probably won't make a difference in the outcome. Here's who will.

There was not a single statement of parody in it, so why was it featured on that very Paragon of Parody website.
In comparison, what is parody is genuine-made talk of 'electoral college' or 'polls of (various) voters.' Those 'deciders' are self-parody in light of knowing the programmed computer-based voting machinery is pre-programmed. Computer programmed counts are figured out especially fast, (if not ahead of time), so 'winners' can be told the same day they are elected, in time for the 11:00 o'clock news ... lest the selected ones that night lose sleep not knowing.
Really, people, pass notice to your 20 closest friends, and tell each of them to pass it to their 20 friends, and so on, and so on, about the findings of Elections Officers frauds of false tallies, (with indictments, convictions, and incarcerations of many Elections Officials in TN, PA, OH, NY, and other States).

For the reading challenged or millennials knowing not to vote D or R here's the news
in TV format.
And what can be done since massmedia rules that only D or R votes count?

Update: A historical source has been found for one variant of this quote. The source is Boris Bazhanov's Memoirs of Stalin's Former Secretary, published in 1992 and only available, so far as I know, in Russian. The pertinent passage, which appears near the end of chapter five, reads as follows (loosely translated):
You know, comrades," says Stalin, "that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.
Holds true today, big question is the "how" -
How can American people trust the software and the machines and who controls them?

I remember when union endorsements used to be a big thing. Now you run from a union endorsement like the plague.
It would be cool to have presidential candidates boast of their corporation endorsements.
