There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.
n spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election. The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office. Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party. Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns? The most realistic explanation is voter fraud in a few swing states. According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote. In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age. In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote. An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious. Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.
The inflated numbers can't just reflect voters who have moved, because the average voting registration level nationwide is only 70%. The vast majority of voters over the 70% level are not voting because they want to, they are voting because someone is getting them to cast a vote, one way or another. Those 31 counties are most likely the largest counties in Ohio, representing a majority of Ohio voters. This means the number of votes cast above the 70% typical voter registration level easily tops 100,000, the margin Obama won Ohio by.
Videographer James O'Keefe, known for his undercover videos exposing left wing fraud, caught a Virginia Democratic Congressman's son on video in October explaining how to commit voter fraud. Patrick Moran, the son of Rep. Jim Moran, told O'Keefe's videographer that in order to make a vote for someone else, you'd need two pieces of identification, such as a utility bill, explaining, "they can fake a utility bill with ease, you know?" He went on to advise the videographer that he should also call the voter and pretend to be a polling company in order to make sure the voter isn't intending to vote. He said that Democrat attorneys would be located in the polling places to assist him if challenged casting one of these illegal votes.
In another video, O'Keefe's videographer tells a DNC staffer from Obama's Organizing for America that she intends to vote in both Texas and Florida. The staffer laughs and says, "It's cool." The staffer then prints out a voter registration form for the undercover videographer and advises her on what to do if she gets caught.
These are just the known instances of attempted voter fraud. How many instances occurred that were not discovered? Obama's Organizing for America looked up voters in swing states – many who would not have bothered voting otherwise – and got them to vote. How did they get them to vote? They may have given them rides to the polls, they may have offered to fill out and return their ballots for them, or they may have voted ballots for the ones who were not going to vote.
Many on the left believe there is nothing wrong with committing fraud in order to ensure Obama's reelection. It is a common tenet on the left that the ends justify the means. Saul Alinsky, the 1960's radical who inspired Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, taught community organizers like Obama that dishonesty is acceptable if it achieves your political goals. And when caught, Alinsky teaches radicals to deny the wrongdoing and change the topic to put their accusers on the defensive. One Obama supporter brazenly posted on Facebook that he was voting four times for Obama, asserting that the ends justify the means.
Aiding Obama's win was a devious suppression of the conservative vote. The conservative-leaning military vote has decreased drastically since 2010 due to the so-called Military Voter Protection Act that was enacted into law the year before. It has made it so difficult for overseas military personnel to obtain absentee ballots that in Virginia and Ohio there has been a 70% decrease in requests for ballots since 2008. In Virginia, almost 30,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots than in 2008. In Ohio, more than 20,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots. This is significant considering Obama won in both states by a little over 100,000 votes.
Voter fraud has been in the works for years. At least 52 employees of the left wing group ACORN have been convicted of voter registration fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of the crime of "compensation," paying its registration canvassers bonuses to exceed their quotas. In 2008, 36% of ACORN's voter registrations were invalidated. Left wing political pundit Chris Matthews admitted last year that pretending to call someone from a polling company, then voting their ballot for them, has been happening in big cities since the 1950's. He admitted he knows that kind of voter fraud takes place in Philadelphia.
Strong-arming people into voting who really have no desire to vote undermines our form of government. People do not choose to vote because they are uninformed about the issues and candidates, are lazy, cynical, or are content with the status quo. Voting someone else's ballot for them is cheating the system and essentially giving yourself two votes.
When people claim that Obama won because the economy was improving, or because Americans generally think he is doing a good job, it is not true. He won through dishonest methods and rhetoric. Many of the votes cast in the swing states were cajoled, some legally and perhaps even more illegally, into supporting him. If voter fraud becomes acceptable, then maybe Donald Trump is right: it's time for a revolution.
I tried finding that post, to no avail. Tried googling it, nada. If you find it, please update. Thanks PTL!
Exactly, signing petitions is a waste of time. Anyone with any kind of authority will just wipe their asses with em. This country is run by marxist globalists, and the sheep are hanging off their teats for the free goodies. I just want it all to crash now so it can be rebuilt. Thats the only way you can change people’s outlook, let em suffer till they realize their mistake.
good post, Finny.
I never saw such a post as that...not saying you didn’t see one.
I don’t have to depend on that post or on research. I KNOW the Constitution does not give the House the power to nullify a duly constituted election for PResident of the United States. And I KNOW that the claim that this has been done several times in the past is ridiculous. Are you kidding? Do any FReepers really believe that any of our Presidents have gained office by being placed there by the House of Represenatives instead of by a normal election process?
I believe the House does meet and certify the vote for the winner. They accept the certificates from the various states as to who won their states. But it is a CEREMONY. A pro forma procedure. Not an opportunity to “nullify” an election and select someone else.
The House DOES have the constitutional power to decide who is to be seated as a member of the House after congressional elections. That power they do have, when a congressional election is contested. But to nullify a Presidential election? NO.
That being said, if he really goes off the deep end and totally ignores the other branches of government by using Executive Orders illegally to establish himself as dictator for life, we have the right to go into full revolutionary mode and overthrow him. If we get to that point, we are in for the final fight of this country's life.
“It wasn’t voter fraud, it was candidate fraud.”
Obama IS the slickest slickster out there. Plus, liberals loved and admired that about Clinton so...Nah, forget it. It was fraud.
woops...... humidify = humiliate
“Thats the only way you can change people’s outlook, let em suffer till they realize their mistake.”
Not necessarily. Sometimes all they need is to think they’re unpopular or uncool.

Why isn’t this blatant fraud making more noise — beyond conservative web sites?
Those who lost their vote thru fraud, are still out there. The people are still dis-satisfied. Just because they lost their vote doesn’t mean that the US is rah-rah Obama.
I know that Petraeus is making the news, and rightfully so, but this fraud should be there, too!!!!!
Conceding doesn’t matter if final vote tallies show something different.
Many states are still counting a great number of ballots.
In this case, tho, we have been beaten by massive voter fraud.
I agree with all your other points.
same here, my oldest turns 15 today and I looked at him and had to go outside and think about how this country has become star struck, cowardly on our side and a party of cheats and frauds.
How our military has gone the way of PC
CIA has become a world joke
FBI run by obama thugs and looks at not who the real enemy is.
homeland dept, what a joke .
Our side like Cantor who never speaks up, wh never fights, look at it this way.
We have a party led by two snarling pit bulls Reid and Pelosi and they never give up pushiung their agenda, anything radical is pushed onto us, even when they lose big they just change the messaging but still push their agenda.\
They fight tooth and nail and never give uop, they fight as street fighters
Us , well we have two of the most boring fools we could ever imagine, they speak with no emotion but one does cry, they never take the fight to the left and never try to challenge social or fiscal issues.
Well right now they are fighting to stop the top 2% of not having taxes go up which is the left is saing and that plays well for them whilst we look to be a party of 2%
what we have is a party who fights dirty, knives, guns what ever and fights mean
The other party come up wiht knuckcles Queens rules fisty cuffs.
Yea guess who always wins.
Look at FL, VA, OH obama hardly won with a biased media protecting him and yet if we had stopped the fraud and checked those votes we would have won/.
Instead we won and they got the election through fraud , illegals, no photo ID, laws not enforced northerners using vacation addresses to vote i two states as well as the students.
What happened to talk radio, our side wiht public voices, even many on here who now have become cowards, tey dn;t want to speak up because the might be called a name
A FRIGGING NAME, PEOPLE HAVE DIED FOR THIS COUNTRY AND THEY DON;T WANT TO BE CALLED A NAME
As the days go on the freepers will just accept this and move on like the media and the GOP keeps telling us to
agreed.
Look at the results which do not add up, lets say VA,.
military votes went 50/50, really!!! they went 50/50, come on who really thinks they did?
Now look at the margin he got VA, then think about illegals and those who votted more than once and there were some who admitted they voted more than once.
Obama never got VA nor did he get my state FL.
It was close but we saw republican observers thrown out, observers for West not allowed to observe, republican votes not counted
That was just in that part of the state.
oabam just before the election got less than 5000 and yet he won that area of Tampa
REALLY!!!!!!.
OH and WI are the same, voted down but union votes up by 5%, Walker wins twice and the state goes republican but they vote for a Dem senator and obama and Ryan does not come close to his state.
PA is a long list and i;ve not even mentioned half of what went on in FL or OH
Every republican who has just moved on, who has just shut up because they fear of being called a name should be ashamed of themselves.
People have given their lives, they still do and they risk their lives and yet many on our side in talk radio, on sites like this and the GOP will not mention anything because they fear of being called a name
That is how pathetic we have become, the left around the world are laughing at how pathetic the right has become.
They know now they can rig elections in America and get away with it and the right states nothing.
SICKENING
You are indeed correct, and the fact females voted for a celebrity not a president. I believe the voter fraud did tip the scales in 0bama’s favor, however. If you look at an election map you’ll notice Romney took most of the rest of America. 0bama wins almost every swings state? WTF? Romney visited them and wooed them just as much as 0bama did, but Chicago THUG 0bama did what he does BEST: CHEATED.
heard the same but you will not get most on our side in talk radio or the GOP to mention anything, because the talk radion do not want to piss off their sponsors and the GOP thinks they will be called a name off the media which hates them.
What a sad state American has become.
That is exactly what is going to happen. Exactly. I see it now. Four years go by. Conservatives are a lot poorer. Have even less political muscle to throw around because they simply are more tired, more broken and poorer.
The GOP puts some fake, lackluster character up there. Oh, and by the way, si se pueda, Amnesty has been passed. With the Republicans capitulating but Obama getting full credit among the illegals. So, we put some lackluster candidate up there the conservatives hate. They throw us a bone with the Veep slot. Like bad actors, we get into our role and show up by the tens of thousands at the rallies.
You know the drill. The best we can hope for is someone who cheats too. That's where we are at...
I searched and can’t find that part. Still looking.
let me ask you a question please.
Do you ever get issed off seeing our side being cowards, never fighting and even some freepers who just get in line ecause they don;t want to be called a name off the left and a media which hates us?
I do and still am, I so pissed off I can;t even write on hre how disgusted i am at how they got away with this election and our side did nothing, they never caleld t emedia out over these years muinus Newt and he got hammered by our side for doing that, Peggy Noonan and her elitist snotty nosed friends wo still think we have elections like the 1980’s
I am tired of the cowardly controlled opposition. No stomach for it.
Even Levin won't touch it. How much more evidence do you need? We are walking away from the most important election in our lives. Just giving the country away. The country is not completely lost. I know we won this thing. I know it.
All well and good to highlight fraudulent expansion of the Obama vote.
But what I’m suspicious of as well is if you make some Romney votes disappear or turn into Obama votes, you have an even better chance of concealing fraud. Because for every Romney vote that disappears or changes, there’s one less vote you need to manufacture out of thin air in order to “win”.
