For the first time in my life, I am almost about to believe massive technical voter fraud. There is just no way that this country turned out in numbers 15 million less than in 08. I figured Obama could get 60 million votes, maybe more. I thought 70 million would vote against him.
The evangelical counts will be interesting, but dang, I am about ready to add tin foil hats as an accessory....
Lots of votes still to be counted. West coast mail ballots, general absentees, provisionals, east coast storm. No sign at all that the ultimate total will be significantly below 2008. The count usually goes up several million even after wednesday noon.
I believe turnout could have been lower, but the lower turnout should have come from Obama's base who were less enthused about the historic nature of the election, and perhaps otherwise disinterested voters who voted in 08 to be a part of history.
At the same time, I expected Republican turnout to be higher than 08, given higher enthusiasm for Romney than McCain.
2016 had a Republican only fall off of 26 million.
So, yeah, people get fed up with these pukes and don't show up ~ in the TENS OF MILLIONS!

I am with you....it was fraud.
I’m with you, sent in our absentee ballots 14 days before the election. In PA if you’re in town anyway you’re supposed to go to polls & void ballot and vote there. Also my wife mismarked her ballot so we went.
Though i saw a few names in the book marked voted absentee ours weren’t marked. The head judge took our names & went to look through the ballots. When we left about an hour later he still hadn’t found them. The post office has lost 2 things in the last 20 yrs. my Mitt Romney store items & my ballots for Mitt Romney. I’m in a heavily republican area, targeting ballots from this post office would be very productive.
I think we just witnessed the most massive & sophisticated voter fraud effort in US history. Can’t wait to see the turnout numbers from Philly.
If I heard Karl Rove right last night, in Ohio the pre-election day early vote count put 0bama up by +10%! On election day, Romney got back 9% of that, but it wasn't enough?!
If so, this was already "baked in" before election day. Something is seriously wrong with that!
Absentee/early voting should be dramatically restricted and reformed.
Every new report reported long line. Long lines for early voting, lon lines on election day and yet not as many turned out?
Something aint right.
The last time I looked, Romney won only about 59.8% of the vote in El Paso County, Colorado. I think Romney's numbers of the vote are even lower than McCain's numbers. RR should have got something approaching 70%.
BTW, Rick Sanctum won big in El Paso county during the primary.
had enough corruption for one week.
There needs to be a major investigation into fraud. No way in hell 15 million less republicans showed up yesterday to vote. No way in hell McCain got 15 million more votes than Romney. How can all the polls be wrong that said republican enthusiasm was way up and democrats way down. Then these numbers come out. And how in the world can the loser get the majority of independent votes and get the majority of voters who say he was better for the economy, which was the defining issue.
To paraphrase Dr. Henry Lee “sumting wrong heah”!!
Posting before reviewing thread: 2,3, or your massive vote fraud supposition in answer to the title.
Not that anything matters. We’ve had 120% documented voter turnout in dim districts and nothing is investigated - even under W’s watch. Sigh.
I count the GOP-e losses from the 1936 election forward, and it’s MUCH MORE THAN HALF ~ their track record defies common sense.
It just makes no sense. The electoral tsunami in 2010, the debate performances, the growing crowds, and then all of the reports about the huge election day turnout, (heck in our area Heavily Republican precinct they were expecting over 75%)...
And wondering this morning why so few are considering the possibility. Did find a strange blog entry from early October. With this opening paragraph - “”I’m telling you children that Mitt Romney’s biggest problem is not Barack Obama, nor even this blog, but Mitt Romney’s problem in having the election stolen from him is Jeb Bush.””
Very troubling times for the Republic.
May God keep watch.
