did your vote count?

so i heard on the news this morning that
an estimated 8.3 million republican votes were
deemed unqualified and not counted in last night's election.
the associated press released a statement
about it late last night but it conveniently
got buried in light of the democratic celebration coverage.
no coincidence that Obama's campaign donates
regular large donations to top news stations
such as CNN, ABC, NBC.
