Fighting for the Truth
First, I should tell you that I am neither a false optimist
nor a conspiracy theorist by nature. My
wife can vouch for that. It is important
that I point that out because by the end of this article, I will likely be
accused of being both.
With about two weeks to go before the
election, I began saying that there was no way Mr. Obama was going to win, but
I was very concerned that the election might be stolen. (It is important that I mention that I did/do
not blame anyone specifically. I do not
have evidence to accuse Mr. Obama or anyone else personally, even if it can be
proven that massive fraud did occur.
That may seem naïve to some people, but I’d rather be thought naïve than
guilty of rash judgment. Please keep in
mind that as this article progresses, though I have grave concerns, it would be
unjust for me to accuse any individual of guilt.)
Before the election, there were
constant stories of fraud and irregularities, almost all implicating the
left. Of course, it was not being reported
by anyone save Fox News. I contacted
prominent individuals, begging them to focus efforts on ensuring a fair
election.
When election night happened, I actually
considered the result legitimate, and not the result of fraud. Even though I believed what I had been
saying, I am simply not a conspiracy theorist.
But the reports of fraud continue to pour in.
I first saw articles from Pundit Press
reporting staggering information from multiple swing states. I do not know anything about Pundit Press, so
I took the results with a grain of salt.
But I have since seen numerous stories from numerous other sources. Here are a few of the results:
In Ohio, Mr. Obama apparently won some
districts with over 99% of the vote, including some with 100%. These are in areas with thousands of votes
cast – I believe that result is impossible.
In Pennsylvania, some precincts supposedly removed Republican poll
watchers. Pundit Press (and others)
claim the results in those precincts also showed Obama with 99% or more of the
vote. In fact, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports 59 voting districts in which Romney
got 0% of the vote. In my opinion, it is
simply not realistic for that result to occur legitimately, even in an urban
area.
In Ohio and Colorado, there were precincts in which voter
registration totaled more than the voting-age population. I saw this from another source prior to the
election, and it was confirmed in Colorado by Media Trackers after the election. Some outlets report that Obama won one Ohio
district with 108% of the vote, compared to population. Other states also had issues, including
accusations of stolen ballots.
Judicial Watch is apparently suing
Ohio’s secretary of state Jon Husted because, among other things, two Ohio
counties had more people registered to vote than the population. Husted responded, saying that federal laws
make it impossible for him to remove fraudulent registrations. (But voter ID laws are about voter
suppression, right? Give me a
break!)
The Columbus Dispatch,
a respected newspaper, opined that “more than one out of every five registered
Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote.”
All this, after Romney backed his hopes on the Buckeye State. Judicial Watch has identified similar
problems in numerous other states, including the swing states of Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Colorado, and Florida.
The Pew Center has identified about 24
million fraudulent registrations, including 1.8 million dead people, and 2.75
million people registered in more than one state. All this in an election decided by a few
thousand votes in about four states.
Another report by the group Human Events
claims that Democratic interpreters in Ohio showed non-English speakers how to
vote Democratic, a clear violation of the law.
According to one unnamed poll worker, no Republican interpreters were
present.
Some of these stories of fraud were
known before the election, such as those regarding registration irregularities,
but those of the vote totals could only come out after.
This is quite a lot of smoke that
suggests there may be a serious fire raging.
I reiterate that I personally have no proof of fraud, and certainly can
not implicate any individual. However,
there seems to be enough here to cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of last
week’s election. The American people
deserve an aggressive investigation. An
election as close as this one can definitely be compromised.
All I am calling for is that the
media, Republican Party and Secretaries of State in these states fulfill their
responsibility so the American people can be sure that Mr. Obama was legitimately
elected. It needs to be done before the
Electoral College votes on December 17.
If this smoke does lead to fire, there will need to be court cases and a
process reminiscent to 2000. It is not
optimal, but necessary if the election was a fraud, and you’d better believe it
is worth it.
I also pray that Congressman Issa and
the rest of the House Republicans move diligently on their investigations of
Fast and Furious, and especially Benghazi.
Again, I am NOT accusing Mr. Obama of criminal activity or cover-up, but
there is certainly enough there to investigate.
If it did in fact happen, it needs to be unearthed, preferably before
the Electoral College votes, because such a revelation would almost certainly
cause many electors to cast their votes for Mr. Romney rather than elect Obama
only to have him impeached.
See, I am manufacturing a silver
lining, or concocting conspiracies, right?
I don’t think so. Again, I am not
saying any of this is definitively true or making accusations. All I am saying is that there are
irregularities and inconsistencies that must be investigated.
What I want from us is to put the pressure on those in
government and the media with the power and responsibility to act. No pre-determined conclusions, no angry
threats. But we have not been getting
the whole story, that much is clear.
Much of the mainstream press is more concerned about burying news and
creating news than reporting news. And
the Republican Party is too concerned about looking bad or losing what little
power they have left to fight a battle they may not win. It is up to us to demand the truth.
I am asking every truth seeker to contact his or her
Representative and Senators, at least if they are Republican, and request that
they fight for the truth. I will also be
listing tomorrow the contact information of the Republican Secretaries of State
for six states that I believe Mitt Romney may possibly have won, which were awarded
to Obama. It is also worth hounding the
media to cover these stories and get to the bottom of them.
If we rightfully elected Mitt Romney, then this struggle will
be far less of a burden to the country than four more years of an Obama
Presidency. It will also give a voice to
the American people again. If it turns
out the reports of fraud are exaggerated, so be it. We will accept the outcome of the
election. But we deserve the truth.
