[EL] Question about reporting on 2012 election voting

Mon Jan 7 04:57:05 PST 2013

I have received a number of responses rebutting the allegations made in the email I received. I assume, however, that the email (and the "Bill O'Reilly facts", if they really ARE from him) are continuing to circulate on the Internet. Without access to the election law listserve, it would appear difficult to fact-check that sort of information, which to me illustrates one of the problems with our increasing national exposure to essentially anonymous and unauthenticated information.

Philadelphia has 1,687 voting divisions; there's nothing unusual about that
number at all.  When the final count was in, the number was reduced to 50
no-vote divisions, and 99 with one Romney voter.

On the voter ID claim: the President won FL, MI, and NH, which have photo ID
requirements.  He lost plenty of no-ID states, including NC, NE, WY, and MS.

I received the email below from a (usually rational)  friend, who wrote
asking if I thought it was true. Does anyone know if such allegations are
widespread, who is disseminating them, and whether they have recived press
coverage or been subject to analysis/rebuttal?

Thanks

The Numbers Are Now Talking

Very Interesting !!

Sometimes you just cannot argue with the numbers. The USA has bigger
problems on their hands other than who was elected President.

>From Bill O'Reilly's message board:

Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government
and media refuse to do anything about it.

As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter
fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in areas of OH
and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate
election results.

Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.

* In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of
the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical
and statistical impossibility).

* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes
where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations -
and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical
impossibility).

* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible
voters.

* In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but
247,713 votes were cast.

* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a
158% voter turnout.

* Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.

* In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.

NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in
every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.

Imagine that!
