How old are you? You seem to be pretty ignorant of how the American system of government works! Are you a foreign Obot?

You don't need 'hundreds of thousands' of fraudulent votes to throw an election. In America we have what is called the Electoral College. Each states is allocated a number of electors based upon the number of US Senators, and US Representatives is has. Each state is responsible for choosing how it selects those electors. The actual Presidential election, is in Washington DC, and it is those electors who pick who the President will be.

In most states, when a person votes in a "Presidential election", they are actually voting for a group of electors that that candidate has selected. Since the candidate selected them, it's safe to assume that the elector will vote for that candidate. States can choose electors anyway they want, they could set up a paper-rock-scissors tournament if they wanted. But most allow the candidate with the most votes to select all of the states electors. Some allow the candidate to choose an equal percentage of electors to percentage of votes the candidate received.

There are VERY few swing states, and in those states there are swing precincts. Because of this, it doesn't take 'hundreds of thousands' of fraudulent votes to steal a close election, it only takes a few thousand in the right places. That is why the Democrats are so scared of Voter Id laws, it might deny them the few thousand fraudulent votes they need to steal a close election!

This will be the last response I write to you - atleast until you get zotted, and come up with some other moniker.

I know how elections work, you don’t have to give me a long lecture about basic electoral procedures, and you are wrong about “a few thousand votes” changing the outcome. It would have to be a few hundred thousand in 2012. Just look at the swing state electoral results of the last election:

Colorado O 1,323,101 R 1,185,243
Ohio O 2,827,621 R 2,661,407
Pennsylvania O 2,990,274 R 2,680,434
Virginia O 1,971,820 R 1,822,522
Wisconsin O 1,620,985 R 1,407,966
Floria was super close, not decided for days, still massive difference: O 4,237,756 R 4,163,447

I see no solid court evidence of hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes. Did not happen, just a coping strategy for people upset about losing election. All in favor of voter ID, it is just common sense and should have been implemented a century ago, but it is not going to magically result in election wins.
