It should be noted that none of these reports originated from the
liberal-leaning broadcast media however, who have openly celebrated
Obama's "decisive victory" -- as if they don't care how it could've
happened. They are just glad that it did.
If anyone has a balanced approach to the realities of political life in America, it’s me. I’ve looked at life from both sides. I know the arguments of the other side and can still spout them before most of today’s practitioners of so-called 'progressive' thought can. I also know that the reigning ethos of this movement represented so ably today by Obama is this... 'by any means necessary'... What it means, in short, is that the ends justify the means.
Voter turnout was thought to have been considerably
down this year, but some counties in key swing states like Colorado,
Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio recorded numbers that far exceeded what
was expected. In St. Lucie County of Florida for instance, there was a
141 percent turnout. That means almost 72,000 provisional ballots were
cast by unregistered or ineligible voters. Coincidentally, this county included Rep.
Allen West's district as well -- where a recount has been conducted.
There were many more statistical anomalies in urban areas, where the president won nearly 100 percent of the vote or more in some cases. Obama miraculously won every single vote in all 21 districts of Cleveland, and somehow came away with 108 percent of registered voters in Wood County nearby.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that in the city of Philadelphia, Gov.
Romney did not garner a single vote from its 59 voting divisions. Obama also received more than 99% of the vote in more than 100
precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on election day. In fact, there were a
substantial number of precincts where Romney got exactly zero
votes. So how in the world did this happen? Third world dictators don’t
even get 99% of the vote.
The Election Protection Coalition fielded over 70,000 complaint calls last Tuesday alone, but little could be done to fix the litany of problems across the country. Touch screens weren't calibrated correctly, Obama banners were spotted on the walls of polling places, and instances of voter intimidation was reported. While volunteers from the Tea-Party backed True the Vote group were illegally banned for quite some time in Ohio, the Black Panthers were seemingly allowed to intimidate voters at the polls in Pennsylvania.
For all the concerns voiced by the Left and echoed in the media pre-election about potential voter intimidation, voter suppression and disenfranchisement, it is unfortunate that no one in the traditional press has cared enough to address voting problems that plagued the military vote. A plane full of their absentee ballots crashed weeks before the election, and repeated requests to rectify problems in getting ballots to and from troops stations overseas were ignored by Attorney General Eric Holder.
President Obama won election handily and its very unlikely that real instances of voter fraud and voting irregularities tipped the balance, but with that being said, the complacency of the media in this regard is troubling to say the least. The watchdog of government corruption continues to represent itself as more of a lapdog, which is a disservice to every American who legitimately cast a ballot, not to mention America's heroes in uniform who were unable to do so.
