“They probably pay people or recruit some folks in the unions to sign up for a few dozen accounts and make it look like they have popular support. Astroturfing”

OFA hires firms to manage these automated accounts. The ACORN (or whatever they call themselves now) affiliates do the same thing, hiring “Opinion Engineers” to manage the accounts for them. There were articles on FR last spring about how this was happening.

I read an article about it once...can’t really remember the process, but I think it is determined by computer analysis...an expert can figure out that many or most are either non-existent, coming from the same “source” or have been so inactive for so long as to be considered “not really there”....

That 19.5 million are the same ones who donated from Gaza.

There's a "The Shadow" epi (radio) using that theme. Specifically, for insurance fraud. Maybe it used "little man".

"Little" and "Fraud" both apply to BHO & Associates, athough fraud isn't all that little.

Please send this article to your list as the information is factual....one of the things standing between America and her Liberty is the much maligned Tea Party...they have made our Constitution part of the debate....the GOP Elite and others do not like this.

The Wookie has a bunch of fake twitter followers too. I guess they aren’t as popular as they want everyone to think.

They analyze them to see if there is any activity by the users. So, if they just signed up for Twitter, followed Obama, and never did anything else, then they are a “fake” follower.

The crack NSA should know how many fake voters in Ohio and Florida BO had last November. Oh...that’s right, they were too busy spying on their lovers and listening to the phone calls of TEA Party members to delve into the stollen election by the Chicago thugs.

Reminds me of another Punahou graduate, Manti Teo and his imaginary girlfriend.

They must have a class on imaginary friends and delusion.

That is interesting! Maybe, if we had looked into this last election instead of voting all over the place, Obama may not be in office today.

NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote. Imagine that.....

In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. A mathematical and statistical impossibility.

* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations -- and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. Another statistical impossibility.

* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.

* In St. Lucie County Florida, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.

* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County Florida, had a 158% voter turnout.

* Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.

* In one Ohio county, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.

This president is not expected to act like a U.S. President so no one is stopping his crimes...Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle, Axelrod, Cass and other (Communists/Socialists) will provide cover of riots and protests should less than the entire House demand his removal.

As I was going up the stair
I met a man, who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today...

...I think he's from the NSA.
