Ran across this on Quora: What is the minimum number of people who would have had to change their vote for Romney to have won?
Richard Tabassi, Renaissance Ape, Occasionally Witty Biped
Around 1/3 of a million in the right states. [1,2,3,4] EC 18:Ohio[1] Romney needed 103,520 people to win EC 29:Florida[2] Romney needed 50,869 people to win EC 13: Virginia[3] Romney Needed 111,985 people to win EC 6: Nevada[4] Romney Needed: 66,380 to win
Total: 332,754 to win Electoral College
There might be a combination that get him there in a shorter amount that I am not seeing yet, will update when I have time to crunch more numbers.

Easy enough to do digitally wouldn't you think?
In Broward County FL, the results reported by Scytl-owned SOE Software in 2008 showed an entire candidate, who was winning, disappear into vapor in the middle of the count, and in Hillsborough County FL and Dallas County TX, votes that had been reported began to disappear.
I think what actually might have trapped ‘you know who’ was my tagline.
He actually couldn’t tell it was a gag making fun of others and he took it seriously.
OK, time for a new tag before I forget.
He called you a “moderate toadie”?!
Some people seem to be detached from reality.

“We would note that no election system – regardless of the technology involved – is foolproof nor is any election system completely immune or secure from fraud and attack. Indeed, there is a long and inglorious history of election fraud in the U.S. that involves nearly all methods and technologies of voting, especially paper voting systems. Moreover, it would be prohibitively costly to make any election totally secure.”
Putting these all in one post. Much material to look at here.

Did you see how that ended for him on this thread? That comment was not very smart.
” You’ll never hear me giving someone grief for having not voted. I think that WAS the moral thing to do. I know I had to bend mine to back Romney, and to a certain degree, that IS immoral.”
To a very small degree, maybe. Otherwise, a very thoughtful post (as usual). Our problems, sadly, have just begun. We have a drunken coward as Speaker, and Obama has Executive Orders. A deadly combination.
