Merged The election was stolen/rigged!

[Myron Proudfoot]

We've had 3+ years in Virginia of Cuccinelli spouting nonsense and having to backtrack later. There's going to be a nasty primary fight for governor next year, and Cuccinelli is going to be in the middle of it. Even though I will probably vote Democratic and Cuccinelli would probably be easier to beat, I hope the Republicans choose someone else. I don't want any chance he becomes governor.

No primary, it'll be a state convention, and Bolling withdrew today so Cooch will get the nomination.

Of course it was rigged. The problem is that it was rigged by a bunch of dimbulbs who didn't think anybody could do anything about it.

Remember the Anonymous announcement that they had installed a firewall in the Ohio voting system so that the results could not be diddled out of state? That was why Turd Blossom was so sure that the vote would flip in the unreported counties, just like they did after the last time the system crashed and had to be shunted off to Kentucky and back.

Republicons are just plain incompetent and their attempts to disenfranchiose people came back to bite them in the ass.

Cuccinelli political spokesman Noah Wall said it's "silly" to interpret Cuccinelli's comments as questioning the legitimacy of Obama's re-election.

Yet enough people seem to have interpreted it that way to require more than one official response, and to attract the attention of a national news organization. Are all those people "silly?" Or are they, like the rest of us, able to form their own opinion of what Cuccinelli meant, without having to be spoon-fed and insulted by a political apologist? Wall can draw his own conclusions and I'll draw my own. Wall doesn't speak for me, and I don't think it's silly at all to interpret Cuccinelli's statement as having accused the Obama campaign of systematic voter fraud that he feels powerless to oppose. Wall may issue a correction, clarification, or retraction on behalf of his employer, but it's the height of arrogance simply to tell the public they're silly.

Thus, Cuccinelli didn't retract anything.

How did you, Robert Prey, interpret the following?

"Voter fraud helped President Obama win reelection." -- Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli

This is at least the third thread on the topic. All the others have been appropriately sent to CT.

tl;dr: No, there is no evidence that it was rigged.

Read the whole OP people.

It's asking if it was rigged because Romney got so many votes from people that would have suffered from his policies.

Outside of Ohio, I would say that the majority for Mittens were just dimwits. Most of the rigging attempted was in Ohio.

Just for those keeping score at home: as a government worker expecting to cash in on their lavish pension gravy train (brief pause for uncontrollable laughter - there, I'm better now), I look forward to the day when, five years from now, after twenty-seven years of public service, I can retire with an income two thousand dollars below the federal poverty line for my family of four. And I'm a lawyer. And some legislators are proposing to balance the budget by cutting future COLAs.

 

[Clayton Moore]

Yes, it was rigged. If it hadn't been rigged, Obama would have won in a landslide.

Yep.

All you have to control America is control the Senate.

Exactly.

That's depressing news.

 

[KatieG]

Not the winner or loser aspect.

Just the idea that the red states are so middle America makes me wonder how they could vote for an obvious elitist who has treated workers as fodder?

No!

I read the whole post. The question is faulty so the answer will be skewed.

 

[MattusMaximus]

Yes.

Any other questions?

I know I'm probably going to regret this... Evidence?

 

[Checkmite]

I don't think we should just laugh these concerns away. I think I've discovered what amounts to pretty clear and undeniable evidence of rigging, in this photograph from the Obama campaign's victory party on the night of the election:

One wonders where you stood financially BEFORE Obama's lavish taxpayer-stolen bribes... sounds like there's bargain prices for getting government workers to shill for you...

 

[BenBurch]

Yep.

Note the wink.

Yeah there were some attempts to limit the vote, but it would appear they failed utterly. It is slimy that they even tried, however.

If you add up all the single women who need the government for a substitute husband, add to that all of the illegal aliens who voted illegally, and all of the racists who voted based on Obama's alleged race, whether Black or Asian, and all of the government workers expecting to cash in on their lavish pension gravy train, and all of the union workers, bought off with funds stolen from taxpayers, and ditto, all of the teachers, and all of the students receiving interest and loan forgiveness, and the one out of nine Americans on food stamps, and all those who were conned by Obamacare's impossible promises, and all of the LGBTQs and all of the Hollywood airheads -- when you add up all those together, along with the vegetables, well, it really does add up.

I've color coded this to help others out.

Blue: are statistically insignificant.
Red: essentially only happens in the mind of Robert Prey
Green: is a total misconstruction of what really happened.
Purple: are people that Robert Prey just doesn't like and thus should not have the right to vote.

 

[Tomtomkent]

Ah yes. When a man is unemployed and beneath the poverty line he is lazy.
When a woman is unemployed and beneath the poverty line she needs a substitute husband.

They all, no doubt live on free food that fills supermarkets.

I am so glad I live in the real world, even if issues are slightly more complex than outdated gender politics.

I think it has to do with the alternative, which, I suspect, would have been thought to be much worse.
Americans can correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the impression that there is this partly implicit reasoning behind the republican rhetoric to conservative Christians that appears to be going like this:
tax = bigger government = socialism ( = communism = atheism)

Atheists being the most reviled minority in the US, I can imagine why they voted against Obama.
