Obama Likely Won Re-Election
Through Election Fraud

Townhall, by Rachel Alexander

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/12/2012 10:26:13 AM

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

Comments:
Likely?? I would say it´s pretty much a given the criminals in the regime stole the election. Gary Johnson helped them along.

There´s little question in my mind that this was fraud. With the electronic voting sans paper, its easier and less traceable than ever before.

Ms. Wood writes a comforting article (we didn´t lose, they stole it), but really only discusses Ohio. Democrats have been stealing Ohio since at least the Nixon/Kennedy election. Even if we accept that Florida, also, was won through vote fraud, those two states switching sides would not have given Romney the victory. Certainly vote fraud is an enormous problem and something must be done (no, I don´t know what), but there are many more factors that carried Obama again. We cannot get past the almost unanimous black vote for him. We also can´t ignore the failure of our own to turn out in the numbers Mitt Romney had been assured he could expect. We told pollsters we were definitely enthusiastic and we were definitely going to vote for Romney and then we stayed home.

It seems to me that a Republican Governor Kasich should have been prepared for the fraud in his Ohio. Why wasn´t he? And what does he intend to do about it in the future?

Ron Paul witholding votes by not throwing support to Mitt shares the blame with the lame Gary Johnson IMO.

The commie left wing of the dems do not go second party and they are winning. What part of Communism don´t the Libertarians like? Looking for or fostering liberty in all the wrong places, guys. First ys gotta win but being hybrids, Libertarians win a half glass not matter who overcomes at the polls. Can´t exactly call it a win with stacked decks.

Michael Savage said it immediately: "There are millions of [illegals]. Not only the millions that Obama openly granted amnesty to with the so-called Dream Act, but the millions who are here illegally who have no right to vote.

But because the illegal, illicit Democratic Party fought the states that wanted a strict voter ID requirement in order to vote – we´re the only Western nation that doesn´t require it – that is how they got the election again."

Philadelphia Rs put over 500 new R Table Officials by Court Order [Minority Inspectors and Clerks] in Divisions where none had worked before. [This in addition to the 1000+ election Divisions where R Table workers regularly sit, and numerous Poll Watchers]

Many new Rs officials were not allowed to sit or even be inside Polling Places till the afternoon. The ´GOP Lawyers´ were overwhelmed and often did not respond for 4+ hours to distress calls. [also they reputedly were not prepared to adequately defend the Table Workers]

*A lot of voting fraud can take place in 15 minutes, let alone 4 hours.

*In Philadelphia, people are regularly taken from place to place to vote under phoney [not them] names on the street list. D Table Judges of Election regularly give ´illegal assistance´ inside voting machines. Also D Table workers also sign for absent ´voters´ on the books, and go in and vote for these ´non-present voters´

PS many divisions ran out of the allotted 40 ´Provisional ballots´ intended for voters at a poll, not on the street list.

NOTE
The D Chief Election Commissioner was on NPR and TV speaking out against voter ID, prior to the Judicial ruling against it for this all-important election.

Voter ID will not help id D collusion on the Election Board Table does not enforce it.

Felons in Pa can be Election Judges, and NO D Table officials have [in recent memory] been charged with Election fraud, let alone convicted.

If you go to the DMV in California to get a drivers licence, they electronically register your thumbprint when you check in at the first counter. Every test area you visit after that in the process they again check your print against the original. That stops someone else from taking your eye test, written test or driving test. They wouldn´t have instituted this procedure if there hadn´t been countless problems of cheating the system.

Most medical institutions I go to have a palm print machine which is entered into their computer system. Whenever you check in to one of their facilities, this imprint identifies you and they have your records at hand. It is efficient and doesn´t violate anyone´s so called rights. That is of course unless you think cheating is covered under the criminal bill of rights.

Why then isn´t a system like this instituted for voting. That thumb or palm print should be required when you register to vote. If you register twice or vote more than once you would automatically be disqualified from the current vote count and from ever voting again. Cheating in today´s elections is rampant and it has to stop. Someone should take this to the Supreme Court while there is still a majority of sane people on the court (I´m counting Roberts).

After all, didn´t the Supreme Court affirm a one man one vote rule under a liberal Warren court. Enforce it or go under.

We need to start making states accountable for their voter fraud.

Perhaps we need to start talking about disqualifying a state´s electoral votes in a Presidential election if they are found to be doing little to curb voter fraud.

It´s not hard to put a lid on this crap. Voter ID, registration at least 30 days ahead of time, reliable voting methods such as punch cards and writing in ballots, laws that protect election overseers from both parties.

Seriously, when are we going to say enough and really start putting the screws to this?

Phila Rs have overturned a State Senate Election, based on phoney Absentee Ballots, ..... but it´s almost impossible to get a conviction against D Table officials, if the R ´watchdog´ Court Ordered Table Officials are barred from the polls.

Ds in Phila think Voter Fraud is ´no big deal´ and doesn´t really count ...... it´s gone on so long and with the tacit approval of previous DAs etc, that it´s the regular way of doing business.

´Money talks ..... b---t walks´ and unfortunately too many people are ´for sale´.

$10 per polling place for those in the van in 2010 was the rate.

Voter fraud and Gary Johnson? Puh-leeze.

Okay, so there is voter fraud. We know that. The problem is not that Romney lost the popular vote by a little over 2-1/2%. The problem is that Romney lost all but one swing state, resulting in an electoral victory for -0-bama of 332 to 206 – which is not even close. Voter fraud in Ohio and a million votes for Johnson don’t begin to explain 11 million voters who stayed home, or the losses in all of the other swing states.

Simple explanations like “voter fraud” and blaming conservatives prevent the GOP from doing any actual self-assessment. Blaming others for your defeat is petty, whiny and juvenile. We ran the moderate (again) and lost (again) – a loss which included a huge swath of moderates and potential cross-over voters who opted to stay home rather than cast a vote for the “electable” candidate.

#29 is spot on. The bigger issue is that Romney was a weak candidate fighting an uphill battle. Me too liberalism can´t win over genuine liberalism.

There are a lot of conservative policies that are enormously popular. The GOP needs to find a candidate who can articulate those policies (here´s a hint: someone who doesn´t refer to himself as "severely conservative").

Every time I think back - and heck, even AT the time - to the past few weeks on Fox News´s The Five, Bob Beckel just seemed way overly confident that Obama would win. His attitude, and how he looked at the others, and things he said had me seriously wondering before the election if he knew something.

I recall last summer he was gone for a week or so, and when he came back he was sharper and more caustic in his comments and I mentioned to DH - jokingly! - that it seemed as if Bob had been away at Re-Education Camp. And now I´m thinking HE WAS, and HE DID know.

No proof, of course - this is a lame, factless hunch I have, but I´m convinced of it.

We had illegals being registered to vote out here in Las Vegas by the local Culinary Union (and SEIU), and even the ones who knew they couldn´t vote here were PRESSURED to do so anyway, under threat of losing their jobs in the hotels, casinos and restaurants here.

The Las Vegas tourism industry underbelly.

Consider the vote count and electoral totals. Those broad spans of numbers can mean only one thing: That the libs overdid it to the point it´s painfully obvious. One in fifty vehicles out here had Obama stickers on them, ZERO yard signs, while I saw many for Romney-Ryan.

These are NOT coinkydinks.

But who´ll do anything about it..........?

I was listening to the radio last night (I don´t know the host´s name) but he said that in many of the Republican leaning precincts--where people stood in line for upwards of 3 hours--the final count reflected only 80% to 85% participation.

He also said that 0bama won with over 10 million fewer votes than he got in 2008.

And "well liked" Romney received 3 million fewer votes than "not liked" McCain.

He was implying there is something wrong with those vote totals.

Later, he was discussing the electronic voting machines and said if any part of one´s finger was more than 1/4 inch outside the icon for Romney, the vote recorded for 0bama, that the whole screen--not just the 0bama icon--would register a vote for 0bama.

I don´t know how accurate that radio host´s information is, but coupled with the previous articles about voters complaints that the "screen kept going to 0bama when I tried to vote for Romney" I have to wonder. At least Oklahoma still has paper ballots to mark.

Democrats do not want anything but our death. Anything they do to achieve that is, for them, morally okay. People who would not normally cheat are cheating because they have been convinced we need very badly to be dead or the world will die. It is their religion.

Do not argue reason--it won´t work.
Do not change your behavior--it won´t matter.
Do not appease them--it will only get worse.

Thanks, 31, a lot of people felt that way in 2008. A lot of Jews felt that way as socialist policies were advocated in Germany in the 1930s. Liberals don´t just get mad at their scapegoats; they "get even." The worse things get, the less the ´rats will be held accountable. I guarantee it.

The disparity between the vote tallies and the enthusiasm evidenced in the Chick-fil-A episode, the rally turnouts, and the neck and neck polling in ludicrously over sampled D cohorts, all point to massive fraud.

The electronic machines need to be certified by bonded service companies and the national ID must become law. The sorry excuse that ID will suppress the bozo vote is past its expiry date.

Maybe it is time that some Republicans became democrats. The party machinery at the local level is pretty easy to become involved with. Also my experience with leftist is that they can´t conceive of conservatives being so sneaky. So getting a Republican moles in the democratic establishment might be fairly easy to do.

All it takes is a few people in positions to see the corruption and to record the meetings to blow it open in an off year election or local election when they are not expecting it.

Another possible ploy is in states like California which has the new rule that says there cannot be an unopposed election so that there are now sometimes 2 democrats on the ballot. If a republican were to run as a democrat and say all the leftist things they might could get elected. Once elected they have a forum to drag the demonrats back towards sanity if they couch their arguments right. They could also run as extreme leftist and make a few high profile votes for leftist issues if elected. However, if they lost the person who won the election would be more moderate and not beholding to the far left which is a good thing

Just a thought

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

In a revelation that may have Colorado voters rethinking their state’s push on gun control, court documents revealed that the mass shooting in Aurora that killed 12 and injured 70 more could have been prevented by law enforcement. The psychiatrist for suspect, James Holmes, had warned campus police that Holmes was dangerous and homicidal a month before the shooting took place. Lynne Fenton even told the police that Holmes had begun to stalk and threaten her, and yet no action was apparently taken: A University of Colorado psychiatrist told campus police a month before the Aurora

Rep. Peter King of New York on Friday cast Sen. Marco Rubio as a hypocrite for voting against the the Hurricane Sandy relief package and expressed disbelief that the Florida senator would then turn around and try to raise campaign money in the region. Mr. King questioned how Mr. Rubio could vote against the $60 million in relief for New York and New Jersey when Florida has received loads of federal money for Hurricane victims. “Guys like Marco Rubio of Florida, with all the money that you people have gotten in Florida over the years, with every hurricane

Attorney General Eric Holder expressed “concern” Thursday evening that black men are unfairly served with longer prison sentences than white men and that America’s prison system demands overhaul. “Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long for no good law enforcement reason,” Mr. Holder said, in remarks to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.” Mr. Holder said in the Politico report

President Obama and other Washington politicians are getting a bum rap on TV news as money-grubbers and power-grabbers, views the president´s former top speechwriter calls lies, especially those aimed at his former boss. Jon Favreau told students at Harvard University´s Institute of Politics that TV portrays political leaders wrongly, and that the public ends up with a bad view of those in power.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

"Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation. Remember the clap-happy report from Dennis Rodman´s diplomatic basketball vacation? This video comes courtesy of the same Youtube channel that gave us that Rodman video.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
