Did Obama Cheat?

2012-11-17

[AMERICAN THINKER] There are 15 states with photo ID requirements for voting. Mr. Obama lost in all of them. In places with the weakest controls, specifically counties in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, he generally drew turnouts in the 90% or greater range and won by better than 95% of the vote.

Losers tend to look for external explanations, and a lot of conservatives looking at numbers like those from Florida's St. Lucie County (where Mr. Obama got 247,713 votes from only 175,554 registered voters) are starting to question the legitimacy of the electoral results as reported.
"Starting" to question the legitimacy. Does the question begin with "Duh..."?
That's not good news for democracy, because the system works only if we trust it -- and having a majority in the GOP write off a minority who think the results were rigged serves nobody. Not even Democrats.

#6 This was Rhode Islands first year of presenting ID to vote.

Guess who won there?

#4 I said in 2008 that was our last chance to deal with voter fraud. We failed to do so.

This time I said we'd see epic levels of voter fraud - and we did. They have it locked and they know it. They threw it in our faces that they're committing wholesale fraud, and nothing will be done.

Democracy is dead in the United States. Look for Hillary in 2016 and 2020, and who knows? If Kerry is a good boy, maybe they'll give it to him in 2024. They'll still hold elections - ha ha - but they're as fair as any Soviet election.

#2 What gave you the idea Mr Murphy, the 108% voter turnout in pro-Obama areas?

#1 There is no question that large scale fraud took place. It almost certainly changed the results (why cheat at all if it won't change the outcome?).

Trusting the system works both ways. If we tolerate widespread fraud then trusting the outcome is an exercise in self-delusion.
