After what we have seen this November, how is any American ever supposed to trust the integrity of our elections ever again? There were over 70,000 reports of voting problems on election day, and there are numerous eyewitnesses that claim that they saw voting machines change votes for one candidate to another candidate right in front of their eyes. In several of the swing states there were counties where the number of registered voters exceeded the total voting age population by a very wide margin. How in the world does that happen? Some of the vote totals that were reported in some of the most important swing states were completely and totally absurd, and yet we are just supposed to accept them on blind faith without ever being able to ask any questions. Of course the Romney campaign has already totally given up, so it isnt as if there is any chance that the results of the presidential election could be overturned anyhow. But if massive election fraud did take place and nobody is held accountable, what kind of message will that send for the future? Will we ever be able to have faith in the integrity of our elections ever again?

Your comments is useless.
Why you cling to the nonsense that massive voter fraud did not affect results is odd.
Same offer to you. Pick one race, any race, the race you most likely think had voter fraud (any race except Allen West — that race has serious counting errors, and we all know it already).
Give me the district, the name of the republican who lost that you think should have won, and the reason why you think that.
I’ll be happy to research the race. And while I am, you can research why that particular republican, who spent his time and money and put his family through hell to run for office, isn’t doing anything about what you think is obvious fraud.
I’ve explained why I don’t think massive fraud affected results. First, there is no evidence FOR that proposition. Second, there is very obvious evidence AGAINST that proposition, namely the evidence that the loser isn’t protesting and fighting to get the problem solved.
If there IS massive voter fraud, it is of the kind that cannot be easily found, and cannot be verified. I’d love to think that our problems are voter fraud, and I’ve been looking for real evidence. I haven’t seen anything that rises to the level that would clearly throw any major races our way. I wish there was.
House Speaker Sam Smith, musing over "staggering" turnout in some city precincts and reacting to wrong information that "90 percent of the precincts in Philadelphia County turned out over 90 percent of voters," called the ability to get such numbers "questionable."Looks good, except that the article THEN cites that wrong information about 90% as proof that there was fraud. So we believe the one line in the news about 60%, but then throw out their other statement that there was no 90% turnout, and instead go to some blog where someone repeats the erroneous 90% claim.Smith's math does not add up. Voter turnout in Philadelphia was around 60 percent, according to state election figures.
What you need to do instead is to actually get a link to online precinct/ward information, and SHOW that there was 90% turnout somewhere.
Of course, then you have the problem that the argument that "90% turnout in some precincts when overall turnout was 60%" doesn't prove anything either. The news story has actual quotes from people in these precincts explaining what they did to get people to turn out to vote. And also explaining that they are shocked if anybody would show up to vote for Romney, and that ROmney's turnout was only slightly worse than McCain's in 2008.
