OH is corrupt, NH is corrupt, NV is corrupt, TX is corrupt, CA is corrupt
NY is corrupt, NJ is corrupt, MA is corrupt, RI is corrupt, TN is corrupt, AK is corrupt, AZ is corrupt, OK is corrupt, NM is corrupt.

They all have rampant election fraud and it is the only reason Hillary was able to steal them.

All the other states, where Obama won, are not corrupt and the votes were counted in a pristine, fair manner.

And you wonder why the vast majority of the country doesn't hear some of you when it comes to the truly valid issues surrounding election reforms?

1. I'm sensing a pattern...
Actually, RI is corrupt, but one thing we do right is elections.

3. Some people are just nuts
and it's better to ignore them. I don't like Hillary and the campaign she's run, but she did win the states you listed.

5. Obama tends to win by 15% or greater... Hillary tends to win squeakers....

Only 7 of Hillary's 14 wins are by double-digits...

20 of Obama's 28 wins are by double-digits...


Hard to blame "fraud" when a win is by double-digits.

9. Then why is there garbage posted here about OH where she won with double digits?
And why was there garbage posted here about NY, where she won with double digits?

Ditto for CA.

14. A) Her win in California was less than 10%.... and B).......
...

The question in Ohio was not that she won... but how exit polls showed a 3-point win, but the vote count showed a 10-point win.


In Obama's wins, the exit polls closely resembled the vote counts. In Clinton's wins... in CA, NH, and OH... her margin was more than double what the exit polls indicated.


Prior to 2000, exit polls were always VERY VERY accurate... seldomly off by more than 3%..... Now... all of a sudden, we see exit polls after exit polls turning out to be VERY VERY wrong quite often.

Sorry... that looks fishy.


By the way.... California totals:

http://vote.sos.ca.gov/Returns/pres/dem/59.htm

Hillary 51.7%
Obama 43.0%

16. It only looks fishy
to people who can't accept reality.

And if I remember correctly, the NH exit polls were pretty accurate. It was the pre election polling that was not.

What about NY? There was massive whining here about a couple of districts in the city that showed Obama getting 0 votes. Then, when they investigated it, it turned out Clinton mistakenly got 0 votes in some districts as well. Suddenly, people at DU stopped whining and changed the subject.

in NH. Obamaites haven't even acknowledged that.

21. Ohio ran a great election...
We finally have a competent Secretary of State, no need to wonder, she is a democrat, instead of a party hack like Blackwell...

Jennifer Brunner is a stunning example of someone who takes her elected position seriously and knows she represents all the people, not just those from one party or another...

I think and hope Ohio has changed since Blackwell left.

41. Ohio uses paper and scanners
at least where I vote.

I really like that system, cuz it provides two accounts of the votes. One electronic. One paper.

No problems whatsoever in Cincinnati this year.

45. No, most of Ohio uses electronic touch-screen
voting machines. In fact, they're used by 50 of Ohio's 88 counties.

Can you say "Diebold?"

Nice photo of Jennifer Brunner, too.

not the neocon loving conservative ditto-heads that gave Hillary their vote and were too dumb to realize they couldn't vote for the Repuke too.

36. It can work both ways. Obama people can say systems are corrupt, and Hillary people are also guilty
Edited on Sat Mar-08-08 06:11 PM by LittleClarkie
of thinking only the big states that Hillary can win are important. As if winning eleven primaries in a row aren't important.

And then there are the supporters who are grumpy because Obama tends to win caucuses. We should get rid of them, some say. But would they say the same if Hillary was winning them instead of Obama?

37. Do you believe this?
Because Clinton won the popular votes in those states? You do know that we have a new Democratic SOS in CA, don't you? Whose main platform was cleaning up our election systems, and has done a pretty good job of it?

Or maybe you are trying to spread false memes?

Or maybe you are attempting to broadly disparage supporters of the "other candidate", perhaps because one claimed that election systems in one of the states that Clinton won is not open and verifiable?

I've run out of guesses. Maybe you could clarify?

39. I did. A 2nd and 3rd time, just for you.
It's the four before that one that are confusing the hell out of me. What is your point? How does the 5th line follow from the 1st four? I have a strange feeling that there was an earlier post (or maybe even a back-and-forth discussion), and you decided to respond to that post (or posts) with your own cute little OP. And now we are left trying to fill in all the blanks.

40. it was a
wry reference to the fact that Obama supporters seem to whine constantly about the Clinton meme that Obama only wins the small, redder states (see the hundreds of "Alaska doesn't count threads.") Concurrently, the same Obama supporters selectively raise the issue of supposed voter fraud ONLY in the states Clinton wins.

Thanks. Sometimes I can be so literal I'm a pain. I note that you include the word "seem", and I would agree with that use here - though you could have used it in your 2nd sentence too.

"Plus the data on election fraud is starting to pile up, ALL not coincidentally in favor of Clinton and at Barack's expense. Reminiscent of 2000 when another election fell off the back of a truck."
