Tell the networks(and Chris Matthews) to not call election till 11:01 PM EST

[Duckfan]

MSNBC's Chris Matthews recently declared that on Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. Eastern time, MSNBC and other TV networks plan "to announce that Hillary Clinton has now gotten over the top, that she will have won the nomination in numbers. It's done."*

In reality, Clinton can't reach a delegate majority unless "superdelegates" vote, and they can't vote until July.

PLEASE SIGN!!!!!

To TV News Executives (at MSNBC, NBC, CNN, Fox News, ABC, CBS):

9. Another nail in the coffin of the US Elections being part of a democracy

Being a lifelong democrat and once thinking we had the best system to elect our leaders and officials I have come to the realization this election year that winning fairly has been completely thrown out the window purposely with over 75% of the electorate willing to accept this as the status quo. The high level of toxicity and the lengths gone by candidates, their campaigns, their surrogates, supporters, party leaders, election officials, and the very blatant bias of the media this year is subverting the right of US citizens to vote and the freedom of choice in US elections. The politicians and party leaders have often wondered over the years on how to improve on people participation, voting, and ending apathy in the election process. This year it started to change for the younger generation for the first time in over 40 years. Now involvement by them is again being inadvertently or purposely suppressed because of the choices they are trying to make are disapproved by the majority of the political machine. Is this ever going to change or constantly be repeated? When? How long do we as US citizens wait to enjoy the freedom of choice in election without subversive tactics?
