Ohio actually
was hacked, but it wasn't. Some superhero flew in at the last moment and
unhacked it.
Even in victory, these morons have to believe the worst. To justify their previous conspiracy theories, I suppose.

Tin Foil theory about the Rove meltdown....someone Unhacked Ohio. And he realized he was ****ed as..
the actual totals were correct and an audit or recall would have shown an accurate election.
The Rove hack would have been big enough to push the margain outside the recall window to avoid getting caught.
It also explains R$mneys lack of a concession speech.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021766603 BTW, I never noticed a "meltdown" by Rove. I did see him calling into question FOX News' calling of Ohio when only 900 votes seperated the two candidates with several hundred thousand more ballots to be counted.

1. It also explains R$mneys lack of a concession speech.
And it might explain why our party wasnt too concerned....
They already knew about it, and had reverted the software back to being accurate.
Oh geez...

209. I don't think ti was the Democrats. It was Bob Fitrakis, from the green party, who took Husted, the
SOS of Ohio, to COUrt MOnday before the election. That is why, I believe Ohio was not stolen. there was a federal judge watching who said he would investigate if necessary.
It was the butler, in the kitchen, with a candlestick.

35. I think Husted and Kasich lost their nerve.
There would have been a gigantic investigation in which lots of people with R after their names got sent to the pokey. They chickened out and rat****ed Rover.

211. There was a federal judge watching because lawsuits were filed in Ohio about the software!
They stuck software patches on the computers 3 days before the election. they got caught doing that by election protection advocates. (from teh Green Party no less! So stop it yee who bitch and moan about third parties.)
Oh bullshit. They didn't get "caught" doing anything. They announced what they were doing with the software patches, and what they were for, to the entire freakin' world prior to installing them. That's what all good election-stealers do, ya know? Make a public announcement of their method of operation.

212. It didn't exactly fail. the Judge said he was open to investigation after the eleciton if there were
a reason to. That lawsuit may have saved our democracy. I don't call it a fail.
The judge would have been open to an investigation, if there was a reason, whether there was a lawsuit which failed) or not. My God, are you stupid.

193. I agree. This IS what happened.
The fix was in, but at the last minute, the fixers lost their nerve. There was no way they were going to explain their results, given the way the rest of the country was going. No one wants to go to jail for Karl Rove, and so they bailed.

13. Did it occur to anyone that the "Patch"
was actually a switch back to equity? Someone could have been on to them, so they had to cover their asses
Deeper down the rabbit hole.

48. Yes, I thought of that.
When I was driving with my son yesterday, I told him that I thought the "patch" actually made the machine counts correct. Last week I told he and my wife about Anonymous and showed them the video.
I think there may have been more than just the video. Anonymous may have "proven" they were on top of it.

150. This is ad-hoc BS.
The likelihood of any large scale hacking of voting machines is diminishing rapidly. This is the second presidential election where we have won Ohio, and there are still no whistle blowers, dirty code, or evidences pointing to conspiracies to hack voting machines. There are statistical anomalies from 2004. That is a pretty bad case for establishing large conspiracies to steal elections.
Rmoney's lack of a concession speech is easily explained by overconfidence; this same explanation also covers Rove's apparent shock at Ohio being called for Obama, and his subsequent attempts to cast doubt on that outcome.
Your post is a poor attempt at protecting a conspiracy theory from reality by inventing more stories you don't have any evidence to confirm.

189. Yup, thats right.
I'm protecting Karl Rove's vote stealing conspiracy, just like I protect the perpetrators of the moon landing conspiracy, and the people in the federal government who secretly set up 9/11.
Or maybe I'm just trying to protect DU from looking like its full of nutty Alex Jones fans. If you want to look like a moron though, don't let me stand in your way.
On a serious note, you should consider googling "burden of proof" and "null hypothesis".
Nice try, dude, but I don't think you fully realize where you are.
They go blythely on - Anonymous unhacked it, the hackers chickened out at the last minute, the hack was to fix a previous hack, and on and on. So now the Stolen Election meme is shored up for future generations of moonbats to whip out to explain their losses.
