Lots of Conservative hand ringing as to WHAT Happened.
None of the Conservative pundits have touched on this. SO I will.
Two words: FLASH DRIVE. Data IN..Data OUT....It's quick and descrete...........Voting machines...... Things are not usually as complicated as they might seem.  NB |
Interesting. Have you put on your tin foil hat to suggest that a massive conspiracy of voter fraud was responsible for the results of yesterday's presidential election?
Perhaps you're making an attempt at humor, and if that's the case then I beg your forgiveness in advance. Such a conspiracy
would be very complicated, and would have to involve many people throughout at least several "swing" states to ensure success (there were supposedly nine swing states, including Hew Hampshire (to stay on topic), all except North Carolina won by Obama), and spread out over many precincts so as not to arouse suspicion.
Your suggestion might make a good plot for a John Grisham novel, but I don't see it as anything other than fiction.
The less sexy and more grounded explanation for the results is that the Democrats understood the demographics and employed the ground game to take advantage, and the Republicans didn't. Plus, it's interesting to note that at least one analyst (
see here) predicted exactly what would happen, right down to being 50 for 50 in his state predictions. So under your theory, he was either part of the conspiracy, or he got incredibly lucky and his analysis which would have otherwise been wrong turned out to look correct because the voting numbers were fudged.
