I always wonder at peoples denial of basic reality.

There is a bunch of propaganda from both sides, but again, there was no voter fraud on a wide scale. It is a defensive denial tactics after losing an election. Liberals yell voter fraud after every election they lose. Obama did exactly as well as the average poll numbers suggested, there was no major surprises at all. Sure there were a few cases of voter fraud here and there, and they add up to like a hundred fake votes across the country. Not the hundreds of thousands that would be needed to swing the election.

If massive voter fraud happened, please show me news stories of convictions that add up to hundreds of thousands of fake votes in swing states. They don’t exist, its pure denial, just like birtherism.

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.

Liars such as yourself try to jivetalk people into thinking that you are reasonable but any half wit can see through your verbiage. Convictions? With judges who are often as corrupt as the elections officials? The articles were all over FR for many weeks after the election.

So you get a choice of who to believe, Snopes or TruetheVote.

And you pick Snopes.
