The number is not 333K. You need to divide it by 2 and add 1 in each state.

In other words, if 20,331 voters in NH, 36,930 in FL, 51,741 in OH, and 57,956 in VA had switched from Obama to Romney, he would be the president.

166,958 is the actual margin, as for each vote that switches from Obama to Romney, is -1 Obama +1 Romney.

Looked at it that way, I’d have to say that fraud was a major contributor.

Likely the guarantor for the obama campaign.

thanks for the “votes needed” correction

anyone looking at helping ANY next GOP pres campaign needs to acknowledge those numbers and plan accordingly, while hoping to preserve the vote margins in all other states; hopefully any such plan would look to exceed the “minimum needed” in the four states used in the model

And, spread that out over a whole lot of inner city precincts, and suddenly you can see just how easy voter fraud stole the presidency.

It's more complicated than that since the final vote not only depended on which candidate people selected, but on how many from each side came out to the polls.

If Romney was not able to turn around Obama voters he would indeed have had to come up with 333K extra votes.
