Why were R poll watchers thrown out in the critical states?
Why were the exit polls hashed out by media before anybody would present anything to the public?
Do you really and truly believe that half of the voters said that the most important issue was Hurricane Sandy, which is supposedly a natural event that nobody controls and for which Obama did NOTHING? I repeat, NOTHING.
Do you really believe that Blacks showed up in droves to vote for Obama even though a lot of them have pastors who spoke out against Obama?
If the polls you say were so consistent were accurate, then why is Nate Silver being lauded as the lone voice who “got it right”?
And my last questions: What would prove you wrong? How would we ever know whether fraud had occurred, or whether this was the way people really voted?

50% did not say Sandy was most important. 42% said it was important to them. But, I do believe that there are millions of uninformed doofuses who vote because they feel it’s their duty and are easily swayed by photo ops despite no real action.
Yes, blacks will show up to vote for him regardless. If they listened to their pastors there wouldn’t be a 70% illegitimacy rate amongst that community.
Look at Real Clear Politics. The polls all showed obama winning save one or two. Nate Silver is not a pollster. What he does is collects all of the polls and plugs them into his formula that then spits out a percentage chance of victory. He’s lauded by the left because unlike polls which had obama up by about 1% on average, his model was saying obama had a 91% chance of winning on monday before the election.
Fraud happens, but it would take a great deal of work and several hundreds of people to pull it off on a large enough scale. And, people can’t keep secrets. It would come out. Besides the states Romney lost like Fl. Oh. and Va. all have republican governors and in the case of Ohio, a very active republican secretary of state who oversees the vote.
Blaming it on fraud doesn’t help the party make the needed adjustments to win in 2014 and 2016. It says,”There’s nothing wrong with the GOP, nothing needs to be tweaked, we just got screwed.”
