I'm no Albert Einstein but perusing Florida results I notice the added percentage of votes addes up tp %100.1. How does that happen?

Florida = 100.1? 29 electoral votes

Barack Obama 49.9%

Mitt Romney 49.3

Others 0.9

100% of precincts reporting

[Repeal 16-17]

How does that happen?

Because Florida is the State of Confusion.

[Jim from C-Town]

The magic of voter fraud!

[BluntRM]

Rounding error.

100.1%? That can’t be right.

They obviously missed the dead votes. They always count for at least 5 extra points.

Should be 105 %. At least.

Dead folks count .001 more than a living guy. It’s something about the laws of physics....I read that in high school.

Rounding error. If your breaks land in such a way that 2 out of 3 round up you get an extra .1.

Those eaten by gators get to come back and vote twice.

Ohio is 99.9? 100 precinct reported.

Oregon has a population 18 and over of 1,526,366 and with 88% of the precincts reporting has 1,542,804 voters?

Oregon’s is population 3.8M, 22% is under 18, How do they have more votes than voters?

I wonder how many major cities in swing states had more votes than voters this time?

You forgot the cats, dogs, even some of those children who are registered.

‘Oregon’s is population 3.8M, 22% is under 18, How do they have more votes than voters?’

The same way they found Fraudoire’s extra votes in 08 in MLK county.

Rounding.
49.85% + 49.30% + 0.85% = 100.00%.

But rounded = 49.9 + 49.3+0.9 = 100.1%

Not saying that those were the exact numbers, just demonstrating how.

I live in Florida and all I can say is, Florida is full of brain dead 80 year olds all hiped up on pain pills and boner pills.....

The overall total votes cast are about 12 million less than in 2008. It would seem that a massive number of people stayed home. Obama's 2012 total was less than McCain's 2008.

[Counting is still going on in many states.]

[GeronL]

It would seem that a massive number of people stayed home

We don't know that.

I no longer trust the numbers.

I hope these reults are audited!

[Lucky9teen]

This is what I came up with:

Population : 3,871,859
Under 18 @ 22.6%: 875,040
Voting Population:2,996,819

Total votes cast: 1,526,366

Or brain-dead college kids attached to their ipods, ipads and cell phones wearing “I LOVE MICHELLE OBAMA” shirts. I saw TWO of these yesterday.

How about this comment from Ms Mable:

It was all done by means of the census addresses, names and so on ...that’s why the census counting was relocated to the White House!! They knew exactly where they could place the false registrations and false votes, IMO. Someone like Rove knows this is the truth but he will never accuse them of it.
