Why did you post this vanity in News?
Here is my critique of your theory. There was certainly fraud, but obama won by ~3 million votes. The only race that was close enough to likely be affected by fraud was Florida, and it didn’t matter without Virginia/Ohio/Colorado/Wisconsin. So this election was not stolen. Focus on getting Voter ID laws passed, but more importantly, a better candidate for next time.
He was right to be doubtful.
When I checked at our polling place, the list where his ballot should have been included did not show his name. This list is generated at the county elections office, and normally shows who received absentee ballots and whether they were returned completed. Not only was his ballot not shown as having come back completed, it was not even on the list. It simply ceased to exist. Poof, gone.
When I asked the elections judge, she told me she had seen a number of absentee irregularities and was very concerned. She called the county officials who gave a BS story about how they might not have scanned it yet. That still doesn't explain the lack of an entry on the absentee list. I spoke with a member of our committee later and he reminded me that we'd lost a number of county level seats to the D's in the past county election and that the elections office is now staffed by D's. He wasn't surprised by it.
As to our absentees, when I heard the ballots counted, the majority of the absentees voted straight R ticket, and there were more than I've seen in past elections.
Our polling place also featured a D lawyer the entire day as poll watcher, and voting machines that had to be re-booted about 6 times during the day because of malfunctions. This was all in a collar county of Philadelphia in a normally quiet, albeit heavily D area. Discouraging.
Mr Shoop, you seem to be saying that it doesn’t matter. In the outcome of this election, I agree. In the overall sense, it definitely matters. Somebody defrauded the electorate this time, they will defraud the electorate next time. And next time it just might matter.
Mr upchuck, Some vanities are news-worthy.
What wss the original title? Why are the mods changing titles?
The question you ask is whether it's a conspiracy, that is, knowing that one individual's fraudulent vote would never be enough to steal an election, is there a knowledge that everyone else's fraudulent vote will add up to collectively steal the election?
Do you think that one side, but not the other, is actively seeking to collectively steal the election?
It doesn't take 3 million fraudulent votes to steal an election. It only takes a few thousand here and there, in the right districts, in the right swing states, to tilt the electoral votes of a few key states in one direction.

We need to start voter ID laws in every State now and not wait until before election. Wish we could do away with early voting too. I read some people went to vote and someone had already voted in their name.
I agree it is a problem. I think pushing Voter ID laws will be one of the most effective measures to keep it in check. But I also think there is too much complaining about it in regards to this election, with sadly and embarrassingly wasn’t close.
FORGED Selective Service card. STOLEN birth certificate (Virginia Sunahara). STOLEN Social Security number (CT). FORGED & STOLEN election. Why would we expect a free and fair election from a fraudulent president? We all know how he got to 2008. Just a replay for 2012. We shouldn't be shocked. We should be flooding Congress with calls: (202) 224-3121.
How about 500,000 bottles of purple ink? LOL
In 2004 Bush won Virginia 53% to 45%. We just need better candidates, and bigger margins more than anything else.
Somebody better be working on this NOW, well-ahead of 2016 but we can’t be sure there’ll be any more elections.
It all boils down to absence of ethics, dignity, honor and RESPECT FOR OUR ELECTION PROCESS. None of this is taught in the schools anymore. Votes and voting has been ‘cheapened’ by unethical liberals. You omitted plain-clothed ACORN, Black Panthers and those ‘mysterious’ United Nations poll monitors who came bearing gifts (ballots ‘pre-filled in Europe’ for Obama)
FIRST,
Elect Repub county officials......never, ever vote for a Dem. A Repub Supv. of Elections can prevent all kinds of monkey business.
Second, call the Supv’s office and ask the absentee procedures. If you still aren’t satisfied, go to the office. Use the word “fraud” at some point in conversation.
Ask around and find others who requested absentees.
Third, If you haven’t got answers, call your State’s Attorney. Ask for an investigation. You won’t get one but they are on notice that fraud is suspected.
Can a citizen sue for redress when their vote is not counted?
It was also in the early ballots that Allen West in Florida initially had a 2,000 point lead and then they went back and “re-counted” and West ended up with a 2,000 point deficit. That’s a net difference of 4,000 votes - the “mistakes” discovered favored the D over the R by 4,000 to 1. How does somebody “miscount” 4,000 ballots?
The Gannett site (was it USA Today?) briefly had the tally for OH’s early votes online, and I thought it was something like a 72,000-vote lead for Romney. Yet all of a sudden the results that were supposed to be from early voting had Obama way ahead. Didn’t make sense.
Nothing about this makes sense, unless there was fraud. The clueless folks are celebrating, but I think a lot of people are scratching their heads and saying something isn’t right here. The facts don’t fit right and it doesn’t feel right either.
Exactly --
A little thought popped into your brain and you got so excited you decided it was newsworthy?
You and 500 other self absorbed amateur political analyst have been spamming up the news page all day with some of the most inane vanities FR has ever experienced...including the unusually idiotic “it's Bachmann’s fault Romney lost” theory.
Show a little courtesy to those of us who like to stick to the News/Activism category by restricting your “Deep Thoughts” to General/Chat.
