Only if by "every single election since 1975" you mean Jimmy Carter and Obama, neither of which took rocket science to figure out. If by "every single election since 1975" you mean all elections since 1975, uh, no.
I guess you didn't realize this has been debunked, and frankly mocked, in 2 previous threads already. Nice try though.
But now I see how easily urban legends get started.

And they got all the presidential elections right since their founding in 1903.
So, I guess Cthulhu is going to rise soon.
Vote Cthulhu in 2016! The ultimate order!
