Is that the latest right wing myth, prepping for the eventual obscuration onslaught, that exit polls are inaccurate? Exit polls have been an accepted method of guaging elections internationally for ever. But ah, never mind.

Meanwhile, clear evidence of vote tampering is being presented right in front of your face and you sneer at it because it happens to work in your favor, yeah, I get it.

No one is talking about Florida much because it's minuscule, who cares; some random mailouts to a few people. But heres another issue I don't hear you talking about: a vote registration worker was witnessed and caught and charged by police with dumping bags of voter registration cards into dumpsters. This is a felony. But the worker is a republican staffer and the attorney general of the state, gosh, a republican, decides he won't Persue the case. Big shock.

You're not worried about voter fraud because basically that's all you guys have left. I get it.

Well gee all the more reason to open source the software and nationalize and regulate the voting machine process, huh?

Any way, to the point of your comment, you give us one hearsay example, the paper cited gives thousands of documented examples with info on where to get the info and on how to reproduce their processes.

IT's the fact that we don't have this, and that we don't have reasonable financing rules for elections, and that we have the citizens united result, that should make any halfway intelligent halfway sane person terrified about our trajectory as a country.

Instead we get a bunch of propaganda and a gradual loss of many of the things that made this country great.

Using this electronic trail, it is possible to reconstruct the actual vote tallies, and therefore determine how many votes were shifted. You can see how vote counts were subtracted from several candidates and then added to the chosen one–Mitt Romney’s–tally:

Examining the final vote tally, it is clear: Romney did not win the Republican nomination at all.

He had lost the nomination to Rick Santorum. Romney is now in a position where he can never know if he could have won honestly, because the entire race has been dishonest from the beginning. Even if Mitt Romney is declared the winner on Election Day in November, and even if vote counts seem to back that up (at least before the results are examined for more of this vote fraud and outright theft), his administration should forever be considered illegitimate.
