WASHINGTON – The outcome of the Nov. 6 presidential election
shocked almost everyone, with very few analysts expecting Barack Obama to win
so decisively and to take so many of the “battleground” states that seemed to
be pulling toward Romney.
But then the reports of voting irregularities started
leaking out, then gushing out – like the 59 different Philadelphia voting
divisions in which Mitt Romney received zero votes compared to Obama’s 19,605.
And the Cleveland precinct in which Obama beat Romney 542 to 0. (In fact,
Romney received zero votes in nine Cleveland precincts.) And that’s just
the beginning.
WND is compiling a list of reports documenting voting irregularities
and apparent fraud during the 2012 presidential tabulation. These reports
include:
The Market
Daily News reported on those 100 precincts in
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, that on election day gave Romney zero votes, and Obama
got 99 percent. “In more than 50 different precincts, Romney received two votes
or less,” the report said. “One would think that such improbable results would
get the attention of somebody out there.”
According to
Philly.com, 59 voting divisions in Philadelphia
produced a “head-spinning figure,” not one vote for Romney. “The unanimous
support for Obama in these Philadelphia neighborhoods – clustered in almost
exclusively black sections of West and North Philadelphia – fertilizes fears of
fraud, despite little hard evidence,” the newspaper said.
A poll watcher told WND up to 10 percent of the ballots cast
at a polling station in Pennsylvania reverted to a default, which gave Barack
Obama a vote no matter who the voter had selected. The incident took place in
the state where
officials claimed Obama got a
total of 19,605 votes in 59 voting divisions to zero for Mitt Romney and not
far from the 100
precincts in Ohio where Obama got 99 percent of the vote, a feat not even achieved by third-world dictators. It was
in Upper Macungie Township, near Allentown, Pa., where an auditor, Robert
Ashcroft, was dispatched by Republicans to monitor the vote on Election Day. He
said the software he observed would “change the selection back to default – to
Obama.”
Chicago elections worker Steve Pickrum told WND as an equipment
manager for the elections system, he was called when a voting machine
malfunctioned. “On early voting when I did work on the floor when voters needed
help using the equipment, I was able to see the preference of the voter, and
every time that I saw [a] voter voted for Romney a ‘voter save failure’ message
came up on the screen,’” he reported. Then when he went on election day to vote
himself, he picked Romney and experienced the same error message. He reported
he never experienced the error message when the voter was choosing Barack
Obama.
Another poll worker, this one assigned at the University of
Michigan, reported to WND a list of irregularities, including that the precinct
captain told her at one point, “You go sit down, you are bothering me,” when she
was trying to observe the proceedings. “I was only standing there and looking
at voter documents,” she told WND. “It was clear that what bothered him was my
very presence.” She said a short time later a young man arrived and identified
himself as a Democrat poll challenger. “The first time he said anything was to
object to my challenge of a voter. He tried to anger the voter by telling her
‘She does not believe you are who you say you are.’ He was trying to create a
scene. It then happened again and I told him ‘You are not here to challenge
me!’ His reply was a very loud ‘Yes I am! You are a Republican and you are here
to prevent people from voting. You are holding up the line and creating
obstructions,’” she reported. She told WND in fact no one waited more than
about 15 minutes to vote the entire day, and there were no obstructions.
And in
Florida, the Sun Sentinel reported that
election workers a week after the election said they found 963 unaccounted-for
ballots – in a warehouse. “How can you lose them? This is terrible,” candidate
Chickie Brandimarte told officials. Election supervisor Brenda Snipes, however,
said it’s routine for various vote totals to be adjusted up until the Nov. 18
final certification.
Also in
Florida, residents began demanding changes in
the electoral system that handed voters chaos, frustration and delays at
polling stations. The Florida League of Women Voters and other groups are
demanding from Gov. Rick Scott a plan to draft reforms for the state’s
elections.
Fox News reported that voters in Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and
Ohio also said they had pushed a button on a touch-screen voting machine for
Romney, but the machines recorded their vote for Obama.
Fox News
reported that two election judges were
replaced after illegally allowing unregistered voters to cast ballots.
The Columbus
Dispatch estimated that more than
20 percent of registered Ohio voters aren’t eligible. “In two counties, the
number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population,” the
report said. And, it said, in 31 other counties, registrations are above 90
percent of the population, “a rate regarded as unrealistic by most voting
experts.”
Fox News
also documented how Senate
candidate Wendy Long, an attorney who was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas, recounted her voting experience. “A poll worker who was at the
scanner studied my private ballot and proceeded to tell me that it was rejected
because I did not ‘fill in every space.’ She then proceeded to indicate that I
should mark the Democratic line all the way down.”
On YouTube
was the testimony of a computer programmer, telling the Ohio Legislature that he was able to write a
program that would rig elections by flipping the total vote from the real
winner to a pre-selected candidate.
The
Washington Times reported that
officials in Florida banned observers from seeing the absentee ballots being
opened and “there was no way to know whether the absentee ballots that were
produced were the same ones that were opened, or if all the ballots were
produced.”
Human Events claimed Ohio voters who are native to Somalia were being
given a slate card saying, “Vote Brown all the way down” – an apparent
reference to the Democratic senator.
The
Washington Times reported its
suspicions of voter fraud in Pennsylvania, including that “in Philadelphia, the
[New] Black Panthers are currently standing outside polling booths,
intimidating voters just like they did in 2008.” It said, too, that 70
Republican polling inspectors were blocked from access.
