Projection: Nearly eight million white voters who were expected to vote, didn’t; Update: Or did they?

It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes...

8 million is a lot people! An analysis hopefully will be done precinct by precinct and then 2012 compared to 2008 and even 2004. Say if a precinct went for Bush in 04 and McCain in 08, then you can come up with a percentage for Bush and McCain for those years and compare with the percentage that went for Romney. I would think they should be close. If lines were redrawn, then that would cause a problem.

Where things drop off are in the rural portions of Ohio, especially in the southeast.

This is squarely in the middle of coal country. Is it possible that coal miners are so stupid as to resent the fact that Romney has more money than they do? I doubt it. There has to be more to this story.

[shhrubbery!]

Could some of those "missing" voters be people from the hurricane-devastated areas of NY, NJ, and CT?

There are an awful lot of dislocated people in the northeast, and people who still have no power. I would guess the majority of them are white.

Special polling stations were set up for election day. But when you're cold, unwashed, and hungry for 8 days, voting might not be your first priority.

[who knows what evil?]

Is this a case of ‘cracker disenfranchisement’?

If there was fraud, and I believe there was, it should be able to be proven. i.e. a polling station shows X for Obama when the exit polling only had X. Or X walk in and yet precinct has X++ votes. Someone somewhere should talk or leak, how they hack into the vote tally and change it.

So far, nothing provable other than speculation from articles like these. Maybe Santa Claus really did win!!!

But I do think our job here at FR is to probe these things out!

[The Sons of Liberty]

Is there any formal investigation being conducted?
