Who elected Obama?
American Thinker ^ | 12/06/2012 | Paul Murphy

Posted on 12/06/2012 10:40:12 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Many Republicans seem ready to agree to Obama's demands for tax increases -- after all, elections have consequences, and he won, right?

Maybe, but before agreeing to anything, the GOP should probably look a little more carefully at just who elected Obama.



Dr. Robert Vanderbei, a professor of Operations Research at Princeton, developed the visualization shown above by combining Democrat blue with GOP red according to popular vote proportions taken at the county level and printing the result as a 3D map in which apparent vertical height is a stand-in for the number of voters counted.

Nationally, Obama won the popular vote by 4,452,910 -- but because 4,516,701 of those came from California and New York, Romney and the GOP can reasonably argue that he won the rest of the country by just about 64,000 votes.

Across the country, Obama won by large margins in a relatively small number of counties -- and, within those counties, by overwhelming majorities in some, but usually not all, precincts.  More than 40% of Obama's California margin came, for example, from about 90% of the precincts in Los Angeles County alone.

This effect is clearer in states like Ohio, where Obama's 150,891 overall vote margin came mainly from the 256,581-vote surplus he amassed in just 900 Cuyahoga county precincts.  Similarly, he counted 588,781 votes to beat Romney by nearly five to one in Philadelphia County, but he won Pennsylvania by a net of only 309,115 votes.

What's going on is that big numbers from a relative handful of precincts can swing statewide totals to democratic presidential and senatorial candidates despite widespread popular support for GOP policies in congressional and other district races.

Yeoman's work Patriot, but it matters not as long as we allow a computer program to count the votes.

Anyone that did not see the danger in these voting machines was either complicit or too stupid to be in public office.

People seem reluctant to challenge information that is presented on a computer. Watch a kid use a spelling checker, they will accept any suggestion that is made, same with calculators.

Something we should rally fear is the complete digital storage of documents, because history can be changed with a flip of a switch. Progressives will have a ball with that ability.

What shows in the graph is clearly vote fraud.

These numbers are obviously curious but I would find the raw numbers of registered Republicans in those districts equally curious.

Try the above link although I can’t tell you which applies to the listed precincts in the voting numbers. They are identified but I can’t cross reference them to the results pages.

Some Cleveland locations show many areas with small Republican registration even a few with zero.

Uhmmmmmmmmm... yeah. There will have to be a massive bloody war in which lots and lots of people die first.

You mean like the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War?
Well, it may come to that.

And I’m still flummoxed and in depressive disbelief. Physically, mentally ill yet. How in the world did so many get it so wrong. Or did they? Deep gut feeling: perhaps something fishy .. insidious .. was really going on .. something we’ll likely never know.. in their criminal chicagoway network operations.

FYI .. for whatever it’s worth .. and I know there’s been doubts and cynicism about this source, so: take it or leave it.

But it was reported BEFORE the election and adds more fuel to the questions and confounding mysteries of it all:

if this report is true, why was there such overbearing confidence that they would win when there was palpable and tangible evidence that our side had a legitimate chance? What didn’t we see .. what did the so-called experts miss .. or was it actually so micro-engineered by the culprits as to be a dead certain outcome, fueling their extreme chutzpah ? And how?

(dated Nov. 1, 2012)

NOTE: This update was forwarded to me by Wall Street Insider who indicated they received it this morning via a direct source associated with Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters in Chicago.

__________________________

Thought you would be very interested to hear of this. It appears this Jarrett creature is quite confident of a victory, and has every intention of making those who opposed her, and her boy, of paying dearly for their seeming crimes against them.

As Election Day is nearly upon us, more and more are willing to speak outside the inner circle. Such is the case with this message received by me this morning from a source who has been working for us via Chicago for several months now.

Their campaign appears increasingly confident, I assume, due to the now adoring media coverage of their boy’s little march with the commoners following this week’s storm. It has been a revolting display by some in our media has it not?

Here then is the most recent report I received (from) our Chicago source. I first passed it along to our mutual friend with no response, so now I pass it along to you in the hopes you deem it worthy to publish as its sharing will serve a related purpose with another I hope to secure a favor from in the very near future.

And if you have any concerns regarding the source – don’t. They are being thoroughly protected despite their understandable trepidation. As you have been.

And while our friend was clearly upset yesterday with how the storm altered our immediate strategies that were to have concluded this final week of the campaign, I prefer to believe all is in God’s hands, and if that was to be, then so be it.

My efforts remain undiminished, if not my strength. I hope you share my belief and determination in that regard.

That said, there has been movement favoring Obama over the last few days. Such is the reality that we must now deal with and plan accordingly. Crying nor profanity will assist in successfully navigating that reality.

HERE NOW IS THE UPDATE WSI RECEIVED VIA A SOURCE FROM CHICAGO THIS MORNING:

A rep from Jarrett office was in today. She gave us a finish line pep talk and then afterwards, heard her saying how Jarrett is very excited about a 2nd term agenda and a big part of that agenda is to punish everyone who opposed them during the first term and the campaign.

Strange that everything was “Ms. Jarrett wants this, and Ms. Jarrett is looking forward to that”. You hardly heard Obama’s name mentioned by her which I guess reinforces what people are saying. Valerie Jarrett really is the power in the White House. I know that when her representative showed up it was like royalty was visiting.

All the big dogs were lined up to meet her and acting real friendly and they gave us a heads up an hour before and told us we better “put on a good show” while she was here.

The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them,

“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget.

The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay.

Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”

She was talking directly to about three of them. Sr. staff. And she wasn’t trying to be quiet about it at all. And they were all listening and shaking their heads and smiling while she said it. Pretty creepy.

Why are they so confident about winning next week? We aren’t getting any numbers in the office that has any of us knowing Obama will win. It will be close. Jarrett and her people seem so confident. Why is that? Do you have any information on why she is so confident? I’m worried.

Benghazi was supposed to play big this weekend. That is what everybody here was bracing for last week. You could really tell the staffers were freaking out. Now nobody is talking about it. Like it was never a concern. Like it never even happened. Don’t you have people to help with that? What happened?

You said it was going to be a game changer. I told some others it would be and now I’m kind of hanging out there. Not the only one around here who got a real bad vibe after the Alex thing. Help! Need some good news after today!

During training for poll work on the election our county Clerk mentioned we would NOT be using the new machines originally purchased. The IN Sec of State had “banned” the use of the machines in our state. Our county was mentioned on page 206 of a 200+ report dealing with machines made by that company.
When I questioned her later she stated that the states that were on the fence all were using the mentioned voting machines. Seems to me we need to look into these machines and their use during the past election.

Who elected Obama?

The moochers.
It is clear from the (very cool, btw) graphic that the bulk of Ubama voters are located in the nation's concentrated Democrat parasite nests ("cities").

I see people claiming “there is only anecdotal evidence of fraud” sometimes.

IMHO such people are willfully blind or 0mozlem supporters.

You left out people who don’t exist, and people who voted for Romney whose votes magically changed to votes for 0moslem.

In my socialist state of MD, a law was passed a that the touch screen machines will have a receipt but our Marxist Governor O’Malley very quietly with the MSM’s help has refused to fund the changes needed. So yeah, the fix is in and it will stay that way in any state with a rat Governor.

BTW, those very same machines are tested and tuned by local government IT folks that are ‘volunteered’ to do that task.

So good to see you posting! Been thinking about you and praying that all was well with you and yours. It has been a pretty depressive month to be sure. These people are pure evil...of that, I have no doubt. God bless you sweet Starwise.

Those who vote early and often.

Early voting and counting that early vote gave the election thieves the number of votes that they had to manufacture out of whole cloth to steal the election.

Unfortunately, the steady drip, drip, drip of liberalism/progressive mentality pervades our society. It includes the complicit media, the lack of true religion, the continuing propaganda, etc. We should not be surprised, but we should continue to be outraged! The new immigrants, especially from the nation to the south, are untaught regarding our values, our beliefs in freedom. Many came from the unrestrained, indeed outrageous, exploitation of those who had no rights or prerogatives.

We now have the very real responsibility to DEFEND our Constitution from the onslaught as foisted upon us by Obama an the coalition that elected him. We'd better prepare for what is to come. It will get much worse than any previous expectations. Our very lives may depend on our willingness and abilities to defend ourselves and our families.

My tagline for the last year tells my belief.
