[Unrepentant VN Vet]

... is there something I'm overlooking ?

Two words:

Vote

Fraud

(Took the [BLEEP]s four days of 'ballot reader malfunctions' to get the tally they wanted out of Billings, so how did things go where you vote?)

No doubt there was some fraud, but John Fund has been a vote fraud watchdog from his NRO post. He said nothing, post election, which I infer means nothing significant or widespread occurred. So, I'm not blaming the loss on just vote fraud.

It was lax voting policies, early voting, etc. which allowed paid Dems to act like ward bosses and physically chauffeur dem voters to polls in the weeks and month before the election as allowed by law. The election was lost before it started. No doubt they bought some of those votes, too.

Remember Romney's campaign people expressing shock that Obeyme had paid staff on the ground in Ohio since 2010 ? Chicago ward politics played out nationally. I'll agree with you if you want to classify the Dem strategy under the umbrella of voter fraud.

In Az. things appeared on the up and up, but it took a Republican clerk weeks and weeks to settle a few races.

It's no wonder early voting, absentee voting, same day motor voter laws are so staunchly defended by dems. If Dems can raise the cash, they'll do it again. Full time ward bosses nationwide. Beware.
