Voter turnout best in generations, maybe a century

Highest turnout rate that we've seen since 1908, which was 65.7 percent...

Yep, it was high turnout, but it the loser this time (McCain) underperformed the loser in 2004 (Kerry).
So, we didn’t vote and they came out in force, and even a few Republicans voted with them.

I’m wondering how many of those were legitimate votes versus ACORN repeats. If the vote and campaign finance systems were cleaned up I think the story would be different. I think there was a lot of foreign money behind the 0 and more voting fraud then usual. but will this be examined - NO. Our Country as we knew it is done.
Sorry to rant but I most blow off somewhere.

That counters what the article says..........

That means this election saw 3.24 million fewer votes than four years ago.

AP Lies again....

From the AP article:

It looks like 136.6 million Americans will have voted for president this election, based on 88 percent of the country's precincts tallied and projections for absentee ballots

That means there are a lot of absentee ballots yet to be counted.....

Is this really over>>>>?????

Obama had 62.443 million and McCain got 55.386 million....I think that adds up to slightly below 118,000,000...which according to the projection of the professor leaves 16.6 million votes yet to be counted.

Are they figuring in the hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes cast all over the country? I wonder what the statistics are on that?

Sure, ACORN can claim they were “just registrations”, but there were other groups such as “Vote From Home” that made it their mission to vote fraudulently and no charges were even filed!
