FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Mitt Romney has the Republican presidential nomination more or less in the bag, but primary season lives on. Voters in Nebraska and Oregon are headed to the polls Tuesday, with 63 delegates up for grabs. Romney’s collected approximately 973 delegates, so even if he cleans up Tuesday’s voting, he’d still be shy of the “magic number” — 1,144 — needed to formally secure the nomination.
Two of Romney’s opponents, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, have suspended their campaigns. Libertarian Ron Paul, who has about 104 delegates, sent an email to supporters this week saying he would no longer campaign in states that haven’t yet voted, but rather he would focus on amassing delegates in other ways — a sign that he’s bowing out of the race but wants to boost his own level of political influence.

There’s other voting happening in both states, too. In Nebraska, parties are holding primaries for an open seat in the U.S. senate, while an Ohio Democrat in the House of Representatives is facing a primary challenge.
Throughout the night, politicians, journalists and voters will use social media to rally support, tell the story of the evening and discuss the night’s events. Follow along as Mashable collects the best examples of social media use throughout primary night in Nebraska and Oregon:
