Did urban voter fraud give Obama the White House?

[mota bhai 2,675]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- America's blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time, reflecting a deeply polarized presidential election in which blacks strongly supported Barack Obama while many whites stayed home.

Had people voted last November at the same rates they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels, Republican Mitt Romney would have won narrowly, according to an analysis conducted for The Associated Press.

Doesn't this belong into the Tin Foil thread?

It wasn't fraud that got Obama elected. It was the fact that they screwed up and allowed all those pesky minorities and women to vote.

urban voter fraud? well, that's always tied back to the voting judges and the polling places.

Whatcha got, on that ?

Yeah, we Democrats have our motto for election day, "Vote early and often!"

Have a nice day!

Especially in Mississippi and North Carolina which Obama didn't win anyways.

Tin Foil stuff.

A lesson to be sure, next time get a candiate that represents all of the people, not just 47%.

It's funny. When angry old white people get fired up because a Black Man moved into the White House, they're activists, patriots and basically the best America has to offer. When they turn out and vote, it's because they're oh so patriotic. But when Black folk get fired up and keep the President in for another 4 years, it's voter fraud. That, my Republican friends and tea baggers is why you can't win national elections. You held onto the House only thanks to your gerrymandering. A majority of the vote you did not gather. Not the House, not for the Senate and not for the White House. So keep going down that path. We'll all be better off for it.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Maybe it is just this Black and White Man they are angry at, just like it was just that Mormon Man so many angry white people couldn't vote for.

If you look at it rationally, you might find out it indicates precisely the opposite. In a democratic process, those who choose to stay home acquiesce with the decision chosen by the majority. That so many whites stayed home and did not vote, indicated just that.

Had it been indeed a deeply polarized [sic] election, it would stand to reason to expect that whites should show up to vote in equal record numbers.

How about this, if Republicans agree to support new legislation that would outlaw gerrymandering during elections, then perhaps the Democrats could be persuaded to change voter id laws?

I doubt you would get Democrats to give up the gerrymandering.
