The state has rebublican govenor and congress. Makes no sense. Also didn’t OH vote down Obamacare? What also doesn’t make sense is the ralley’s for Romney in OH were reported to be much larger, early voting was said to be up among Republicans, and there were tons of tweets of increased turnout in Republican counties

Like several others here, I’m really suspicious about some of the outcomes of this election, after the huge crowds that Romney drew. The fact that there were malfunctioning voting machines really worries me—yes, we caught the ones that showed the vote changed to Obama early on, but who’s to say what happened after the fact, after the voter had cast his/her vote, especially in Democratic regions. This whole election stinks, and I’m fed up with the damned Republicans, and Romney, for not really examining this more closely.

voter fraud?...who is watching the counters? Who is calibrating the machines? What is the process? Why did Betty Sutton Lose and Sherrod Brown and Obama won? Did they only calibrate the wins for Brown and Obama?
Why did Obama sound so sure of himself when he told Russia on the hot mic that he had greater flexibility in his second term?
Is Betty Suttons loss the real reflection on how this election should have gone?

Its white guilt plain and simple. Thats why none of this adds up and never will. Like you mentioned OH is more of a red state now than in 2008 yet re-voted for a man who has shown himself to be way far left, hurt the economy and passed horrible HC bill most people in OH rejected.

Nobody wanted to see the light skinned, non-threatening, seemingly “Nice” first black man as President go down as a failure in history. This is something that is so engrained in this culture people partaking in it don’t realize the patronizing way they treat minorities.

Thats why all the polls seem to say YES THIS ECONOMY SUCKS, YES ROMNEY WOULD DO BETTER AT FIXING IT, YES I HATE OBAMACARE, but went and voted for Mr. Weepy anyway.
Sure those tears were fake to illicit sympathy.

The low turnout doesn't make much sense. The Mormon issue could have been a minor factor, but there are probably at least two other bigger causes of low turnout for Romney in Ohio: 1) Obama's vicious smear machine worked quite effectively at dampening enthusiasm for Romney. It's tough running against a campaign that has absolutely no concern about telling the truth about anything. 2) A quiet background factor may be that many people in Ohio have been able to refinance their mortgages this year at ultra-low rates under 5%, which has put more spending money in their pockets and is making them stop thinking about our exploding national debt and higher taxes in the future. Ohio didn't have the big housing price boom that occurred in the sunbelt, and thus fewer people are under water on their mortgages and there has probably been a lot of mortgage refinancing at low rates in Ohio and PA.

But when our economy slides back into recession early next year after all the new tax increases kick in to pay for Obamacare and more handouts, then those same people who stayed home will start worrying about losing their jobs and start thinking..."oh geez, I should have gone out and voted for Mitt! He knows how to manage our economy."
