Forget the popular vote and comparisons to McCain, etc. It was just these states and a small number of voters that made the difference.

Easily all covered by small amounts of election fraud / fake people voting here and there. Imagine that?

Thug Dems usually can’t win an election on their own merrits.

GOP candidates need to go for the jugular - bring that Gun to the Knife Fight! We once again were too nice. My 2 cents.

The reason Romney lost was RUSH announced that he’d win by a landlslide, so the “evangelicals” decided since it was in the bag, they didn’t need to vote.

RUSH was WRONG. He needs to take ownership of his part in the failed election. He blames you all.

Here in MN 80% of us vote, why didn’t you vote????

All around weird numbers in Michigan. It sucks to be stuck with stupidcow again I do think its funny that she got 171,091 more votes than Obama.

Another oddity is the fact that the union is patting themselves on the back for re-electing Obama but they apparently voted against their own constitutional amendments. Prop 2 would have given them the power to veto the state legislature and prop 4 would have allowed them to seize union dues from people not represented by the union.

Using the NY Times vote totals, I get an even smaller number:

Romney needed 51, 940 votes to win Florida’s 29 electoral college votes; he needed 103,520 people to win Ohio’s 18 electoral votes; he needed 115,911 people to win Virginia’s 13 electoral votes; he needed 40,660 to win New Hampshire’s 4 EVs.

Total: 312,041 to win the Electoral College

This amounts to 0.263 percent of all votes cast for Obama and Romney. Does an election in which the result could have been reversed by roughly 1/4 of 1 percent of the electorate voting differently sound like a “mandate” to you? It’s comical to see progressives leap to assure us Obama has a mandate to raise taxes, implement Obamacare etc. based on such weak election results.

Ohio, Florida, VA yeah...but finding another 66,000 votes in Nevada would have been very difficult...minus the Mormon church driving people to the polls the way black churches drive their members to the polls...(Nevada is 8% Lds & has some broader connections via the Boy Scouts)

Florida
Ohio
Iowa
Virginia

If you take the vote difference in these states, divide each by half, and subtract one from Obama and add one vote to Romney in each state, it only takes the following number to put Romney at 272 Electoral votes.

179,934 votes

Few enough votes that there is no doubt in my mind that fraud made the difference.

I think we just witnessed the democrat machine step beyond manufacturing dem votes to also destroying R votes. I know our absentee ballots didn’t make it in PA because I ended up being here and went to check at the polls, but there is much more to it than that.

My first “Oh Sh**” moment of the night was when they put up the early/absentee votes with the 1% precincts reporting under it. OH was listed as having a near 60:40 split. The difference was 18.5% I think which went against everything we had heard. I remembered that Rasmussen repeatedly said this was 40% of the vote and I really panicked. Then I calculated the actual # of votes as being about 20% of 2008s vote. This too made little sense b/c all the estimates were 30-40% but it at least made me think we had a better chance to catch up.

Then when I heard that Romney got less votes than McCain in OH and PA it really made me think that there might have been an effort to destroy the early votes from Republican areas. The reported party breakdown of early votes in OH according to Bloomberg: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-11-06/the-early-election-results-captured-by-democratic-microtargeters was 50D 36R 14I. The only way this turns into a near 59:40 breakdown is if the Indies went about 70:30 to O or many R’s voted for O which the polls don’t seem to bear out. The only other explanation I can think of is if only the early voting was shown and absentees were much more favorable but not listed ? The actual # reported on Bloomberg was 1,442,536 which was about 27% or so. Perhaps I can find the breakdown of absentee vs early votes somewhere, anyone have that info ?

In surrounding states like IN, KY, WV Romney did much better than McCain by percentage and generated more votes overall. Either the negative/mostly untrue ads suppressed our voters or someone suppressed their actual votes. I just can’t believe Romney/Ryan with 4 yrs of Obama turned out fewer R voters than McCain in these states.

Only 332,754 Votes? A lesson for the future. If every FReeper had voted more than once we would of had it!

>> Total: 332,754 to win Electoral College

>> 448,875 in Michigan.

Half of that if votes for Obama swung in Romney’s favor.

This was a very close election arguably with enough error/fraud to consider it an electoral tie.

Definitely concerned about Obama and Reid, but not as concerned about the confused voters that believe in Obama’s deceitful message and direction.

We need to reconstruct the GOP and fix the quality of information dispensed through conventional media.

Ok,here are the statistics. there were 1.8 million absentee ballots requested in Florida,1.81 million in Ohio,741,500 in Nevada and I couldn't find Virginia numbers.These votes won't be counted until around the 17th so they must be guarded very carefully or they will surely disappear!

There are a couple of more states that can still be carried by Romney like Wisconsin.Right now there are 205,000 votes difference,but there are still 545,000 absentee votes out.In Iowa there is a difference of 88,500 votes with 168,000 absentee ballots to be counted.in the state of Maine there is a gap of just over 100,000 votes with 188K absentees out.Get this,in Michigan there were OVER 1.2 million absentee ballots sent out and the vote was only 205,000 apart! 99,200 abs.ballots were requested in New Mexico,the vote total there as of today is 76,400 apart!As the intent of this story goes,there is more than enough of a chance for this to still happen if we can put enough lawyers,poll watchers,thugs,or what ever we have to have in place to guarantee the safety of the votes that have not been destroyed,YET.
