Doesn't surprise me a whit. This state is blatantly corrupt. The Governor founded and lead a company that set the record for being fined by Medicare for overbilling ($1.7 Billion in fines). He's a gangster, plain and simple; the people of Florida wanted a corrupt bully in office, and now they have one.

This is nothing new. Florida is displaying it Old South roots once again when they swear they are supposed home to numerous New South metropolises.

Allen West's District had a 141% turnout of voters ,but of course Dems are as pure as the driven snow.I guess they spent all night in the graveyard digging up votes.

That's amazing; I hadn't read that. I'm a registered Dem, but I liked West.

Manipulation of elections is a nationwide problem, endemic to the electoral college. Tom DeLay got whacked for illegally trying to redistrict. We just don't need an electoral college anymore. It's been preserved because it creates a mechanism to work manipulation; especially important in these close elections.

It has already been proven to be false but that won't stop you conspiracy loving birthers will it? You'll believe anything as long as it allows you to feel as if you and the other dinosaurs are still the dominant creatures. Even Fox doesn't spout this drivel and that should tell you it is not true. If there was even the slightest bit of truth they would be running it 24/7

I know exactly what I posted so no need to reread it. Funny how you choose to focus on the color I post in instead of on the fact that your belief in 141% voting in a precinct is false. Gov. Scott would have commented on it if such a thing had happened and yet not one word. Shouldn't that tell you something? And also why can't you conspiracy nuts get your stories straight? Was it Florida? Or Ohio? Or Illinois? Following the election this pathetic lie was spread on every right wing blog and not a single legitimate news source(even Fox) has mentioned it because it's simply not true.

And what in the f***k do you mean by "I recognize you post"? As for being a hater I guess it could be true if you mean I hate it when people come in and try to spread already proven lies around. I have no problem with conservatives but I do have a problem with trolls.


Try this...

Cards cast is the physical number of pages that were fed through the scan-tron. The Florida ballot was two pages. So 141% is about 70% turnout. Unsurprisingly, if you look at the number of votes for each office, they're 70% of the total number of registered voters.

Sort of silly for the software to report the number of cards as a percentage of registered voters like that, but I imagine its just a case of the software being adapted from a different "scan-tron" application where it made sense.

Now take a look at this and try to understand
http://www.slcelections.com/Pdf%20Do...C%20REPORT.pdf

Registered voters: 175554
Times counted: 124031
Total votes: 123591

Accept it. Your side lost. Claiming that 141% voted in Florida, California, and Colorado doesn't change this fact. As long as irrational Reps like you keep spouting lies and utter nonsense the political climate will not improve. So please accept the following facts...

Obama was fairly elected in 2008 and reelected in 2012
Obama was born in Hawaii
Obama is not a Muslim
Obama is not Hitler reborn
Obama has not tried to take away your guns
There are no death panels
Taxes are not the highest they have ever been

Let's see if Mr. Ed chooses to join the reality-based community.

So more people are voting that equates to voter fraud? Where the hell do some of you people theorized this type of bullshit? Something is seriously wrong with the logical processes in your minds if you think because more people are concerned with the future of their democracy and exercising their right to vote is some bad. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry to tell you that you've just out-dumbed Mr. Ed. You seem to miss the point that it is logically and mathematically impossible to have a legitimate vote count that exceeds the number of voters. Mr. Ed was credulous toward a false claim of a voter turnout of 141%, but the conclusion that he drew from that false premise, namely that electoral fraud had occurred, was a valid consequence of it.
