There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.
n spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election. The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office. Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party. Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns? The most realistic explanation is voter fraud in a few swing states. According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote. In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age. In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote. An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious. Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.
The inflated numbers can't just reflect voters who have moved, because the average voting registration level nationwide is only 70%. The vast majority of voters over the 70% level are not voting because they want to, they are voting because someone is getting them to cast a vote, one way or another. Those 31 counties are most likely the largest counties in Ohio, representing a majority of Ohio voters. This means the number of votes cast above the 70% typical voter registration level easily tops 100,000, the margin Obama won Ohio by.
Videographer James O'Keefe, known for his undercover videos exposing left wing fraud, caught a Virginia Democratic Congressman's son on video in October explaining how to commit voter fraud. Patrick Moran, the son of Rep. Jim Moran, told O'Keefe's videographer that in order to make a vote for someone else, you'd need two pieces of identification, such as a utility bill, explaining, "they can fake a utility bill with ease, you know?" He went on to advise the videographer that he should also call the voter and pretend to be a polling company in order to make sure the voter isn't intending to vote. He said that Democrat attorneys would be located in the polling places to assist him if challenged casting one of these illegal votes.
In another video, O'Keefe's videographer tells a DNC staffer from Obama's Organizing for America that she intends to vote in both Texas and Florida. The staffer laughs and says, "It's cool." The staffer then prints out a voter registration form for the undercover videographer and advises her on what to do if she gets caught.
These are just the known instances of attempted voter fraud. How many instances occurred that were not discovered? Obama's Organizing for America looked up voters in swing states – many who would not have bothered voting otherwise – and got them to vote. How did they get them to vote? They may have given them rides to the polls, they may have offered to fill out and return their ballots for them, or they may have voted ballots for the ones who were not going to vote.
Many on the left believe there is nothing wrong with committing fraud in order to ensure Obama's reelection. It is a common tenet on the left that the ends justify the means. Saul Alinsky, the 1960's radical who inspired Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, taught community organizers like Obama that dishonesty is acceptable if it achieves your political goals. And when caught, Alinsky teaches radicals to deny the wrongdoing and change the topic to put their accusers on the defensive. One Obama supporter brazenly posted on Facebook that he was voting four times for Obama, asserting that the ends justify the means.
Aiding Obama's win was a devious suppression of the conservative vote. The conservative-leaning military vote has decreased drastically since 2010 due to the so-called Military Voter Protection Act that was enacted into law the year before. It has made it so difficult for overseas military personnel to obtain absentee ballots that in Virginia and Ohio there has been a 70% decrease in requests for ballots since 2008. In Virginia, almost 30,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots than in 2008. In Ohio, more than 20,000 fewer overseas military voters requested ballots. This is significant considering Obama won in both states by a little over 100,000 votes.
Voter fraud has been in the works for years. At least 52 employees of the left wing group ACORN have been convicted of voter registration fraud. ACORN itself was convicted of the crime of "compensation," paying its registration canvassers bonuses to exceed their quotas. In 2008, 36% of ACORN's voter registrations were invalidated. Left wing political pundit Chris Matthews admitted last year that pretending to call someone from a polling company, then voting their ballot for them, has been happening in big cities since the 1950's. He admitted he knows that kind of voter fraud takes place in Philadelphia.
Strong-arming people into voting who really have no desire to vote undermines our form of government. People do not choose to vote because they are uninformed about the issues and candidates, are lazy, cynical, or are content with the status quo. Voting someone else's ballot for them is cheating the system and essentially giving yourself two votes.
When people claim that Obama won because the economy was improving, or because Americans generally think he is doing a good job, it is not true. He won through dishonest methods and rhetoric. Many of the votes cast in the swing states were cajoled, some legally and perhaps even more illegally, into supporting him. If voter fraud becomes acceptable, then maybe Donald Trump is right: it's time for a revolution.

I like your thinking. Keep me posted on ideas to organize and implement a plan :)
This election was a fraud from the get go, not surprise here.
Speak for yourself, troll.
How about this out of the blue idea?
The Tea Party rallies and initiates its own election for a defacto President.
This wasn’t done by the Chicago machine. This was too big. It was done by a well organized world group. And every democrat AND republican office holder who does not speak out is a traitor.
First, we must verify this. If true it must be reported. If it is not reported, we must take to the streets in protest.
The future of the country is at stake.
I was excited after the 1st debate. I thought we were home free, then someone on this site mentioned how in Venezuela Chavez was losing up until the end and then he won by a landslide.
I saw the handwriting on the wall at that moment.
How could we be so freaking naive...the writing was on he wall. This was probably the last chance for a while to vote for a “brotha”. Pretty much every Dem I know turned out. One of the black ones even admitted it was all about race! Add to that the classic fraud in Dem strongholds, and we were sitting ducks!
I have in the past contended that more than just the National political environment was involved in Obama’s being POTUSA. One only needs to factor in Soros, Axelrod, Jarrett, and others including some at high positions in the military. I’m hoping that somewhere there is a cataloging of all these persons for the day of exposure and penalty.
I gotta say, these threads all sound like these guys from 2004.
“Don’t we control the Sec of State for Ohio and Florida? Isn’t it up to our side to make sure the rolls are clean?”
Our Secretary of State is being sued because we/he knew the rolls were largely fraudulent, yet he did NOTING about it. I live in NE Ohio, (Cleveland), and I tell you, Obama did not win with the ‘official numbers’ we’ve been fed. Period!
Our own Freeper jackmercer called this election here weeks before the vote using math & data. Check out his work....lol, he was not part of any plot. Our problem, mine too, was listening to Rove & Barone & Morris and reading Ras & Gallup without checking any other polls. And....guess which 2 polls Drudge used every day for months. Yup, you got it. The 2 polls (Ras & Gallup) that showed Romney in front.
I’m just glad to see the whole discussion on voter fraud appears to be a steady drum-beat at this point. People KNOW this election was stolen. They feel it. They knew what their family, co-workers and people in the shopping lines were saying. And it did not portend an Obama victory.
Look at the crowds and the lack thereof before the election. Stevie Wonder/Obama rally in Cleveland attracts less than 200!
Give me a break! Holder’s lawsuits were one piece of the game plan!
-—”Dems are turning the tables. They are all over the talk shows and news sites claiming wide spread voter disenfranchisement by republicans.”
Perfect! Let’s call their bluff and have a nonpartisan investigation and wait to see how we find OHIO really didn’t elect Obama. Ditto for Florida.
Then it should be easy to take a sampling of precincts suspected of vote fraud and simply call the people who voted in a follow up poll. Ask them if they voted and for whom?
Good to have you back :) Thanks for the ping!

I read recently a post on FR that said the Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to nullify an election.
And then to award the election to whomever they designate.
And it has been done a number of times.
Does anyone know anything about this? I am not hearing it talked about.
I cant find that post now - Searching on ‘nullify’ it says only goes back 6 hours.
IIRC it stated the deadline to do this was around mid November.
