Sharon Meroni’s One-Woman Crusade Against Voter Fraud in Illinois — and how you could do some of this in your own state

Sharon Meroni is a one-woman crusade against voter fraud in the state of Illinois…and she’s amazing to watch in person (or in YouTube videos) because she’s made it her personal mission to force compliance with Illinois’ election laws here in Chicago and in greater Cook County. It’s shocking how much voter fraud and illegal activity happens in our election system just because the general public never forces Boards of Election to actually comply with existing requirements in a state’s election-governing statutes.
Sharon is a mom from the Chicago suburbs who founded Defend the Vote, the very first organization of its kind meant to target voter fraud and prevent it in what’s arguably the most corrupt state in the union. Prior to starting up this group two years ago, Sharon was never involved in politics and actually was a corporate headhunter; Defend the Vote just sort of happened because Sharon saw the need for something like it and decided to stop waiting for someone else to make it happen. So began working every day to make herself an expert in Illinois election law…and then set out to audit the process in this state to see just how much shenanigans the various election entities in Illinois were up to.
I’ve been following her work in the lead up to (and aftermath of) the 2012 election and have actually started attending Boards of election meetings on my own, too, so I can see in person the sort of things Sharon describes on Defend the Vote’s own site. It’s shocking how some of these Board Members treat citizens in Illinois and how unserious they are about voter fraud.
There are actually three different election entities that impact life in Chicago; listed in order from most professional to absolutely ridiculous, they are:
* The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners (which covers the City of Chicago itself)
* The Illinois State Board of Elections (covering the whole state)
* The Cook County Clerk’s Office (which handles “suburban Cook County”, which is the part of Cook County that’s not Chicago itself)
It’s surprising, but the City of Chicago election officials are actually very nice to deal with…and remain professional during their board meetings. Sharon Meroni caught the City of Chicago illegally using the wrong documents to verify signatures on absentee ballots…and immediately after she brought this to their attention they swooped in and corrected what was happening…and even apparently took measures to correct the mistakes they made on about two hundred thousand ballots (proof that they made the correction is still forthcoming, but at the last Board Meeting the Executive Director Lance Gough told Sharon that he’d sent her a written report showing the changes and corrections they made in the matter). It actually seems like the people on the City’s Board want the elections to be free of fraud and incompetence…but they just don’t have anyone focused on identifying problems. When someone like Sharon takes the time to observe problems and report on them, the City Board seems to listen and doesn’t waste time addressing what’s wrong.
It’s a completely different story with the State Board of Elections in Illinois, with the Board in this case behaving like clowns and buffoons at their meetings. Large amounts of time are taken up at State Board meetings talking about matters unrelated to the actual elections: sugar cookies, employees who have been with the Board for many years and who wanted their resumes read aloud for some reason, various personal gripes the Board members have about life in general, what people are doing for fun that coming weekend, etc. When Sharon’s attended State Board meetings, the Board Members treat her derisively and say ridiculous things to her like, “You’re not a member of the Board!” or “We’ll only listen to you for 10 minutes and then you have to shut up!”. Meanwhile, there’s no limit to the amount of time that can be spent talking about sugar cookies. The State Board has no interest in hearing about security flaws or illegal activity in its election system…and in fact takes the attitude that “nothing’s wrong and we don’t want to hear about anything being wrong because we don’t want to fix anything!”. They remind me a lot of an after-school club in high school that puts on rallies and things, only they don’t do all that great a job doing it but they are seniors so they “rule the school” and no one can tell them otherwise. They are absolute clowns, every last one of them.
Then there’s the weird entity that is the Cook Count Clerk’s Office, which has been run by a petty tyrant named David Orr since 1992. He just keeps getting reelected, largely because Republicans don’t bother to run anyone against him and he’s a key part of the Chicago political machine so he’s never challenged in any sort of primary. He’s, thus, one of the Illinois aristocrats of the Left who keep things going “the Chicago way” perpetually. The Clerk’s Office is not required to hold any public meetings and there is no mechanism to force David Orr or anyone who works for him to answer questions from the public. All someone like Sharon Meroni can do is submit FOIA requests, which the Clerk’s Office is required to respond to eventually. But, since there is no Board and no public meetings, the Clerk’s Office operates almost entirely in shadows…and does all sorts of things that violate state election law. David Orr gives the impression he’s quite proud of this.
Once you start looking into this stuff, it’s amazing how much everyone involved with elections hates when the public starts paying attention to them. Even professional people like those on the City of Chicago Board of Election Commissioners don’t like public scrutiny. They aren’t used to it, they have never had to deal with this before, and they largely don’t know how to behave themselves when questioned by citizens.
There’s some kind of meeting or observable event for at least one of the election bodies covering Chicago every other day or so, it seems…and the moment one election is finished they all start gearing up for the next one. In Chicago’s case, there are primaries in February for April’s local elections. There’s also going to be a big mess caused by Jesse Jackson Jr’s meltdown and resignation from Congress. And then before any of us can believe it, we’ll have the 2014 elections and their own primaries just around the corner. It never ends.
And none of it will ever get any better unless regular people start taking an interest in all of this.
I think we’re really lucky to have someone like Sharon Meroni here in Chicago, making it her personal mission to become an expert in all things election-related. I know she’s having an impact just by how unhinged she makes the Illinois State Board and by how much they clearly dislike her presence at their meetings. If they were competent people with nothing to hide who were doing their jobs effectively, then they wouldn’t care a lick that Sharon is taking an interest in them. Just imagine how their counterparts would act in YOUR home state if you made elections and ballot-integrity your own mission where you live.
It’s a lot of reading, going to meetings, and hard work…but the payoff can be pretty big. Sharon Meroni caught the City in illegal activity and forced them to correct themselves. Who knows what she’ll catch next…or what YOU could help catch happening in your own part of the country.

There was voter fraud in Palm Beach and St. Lucie Counties during the actual counting the ballots. Some precincts not counted, others double counted, people watching the counting observed part of the counting group marking ballots, found ballots that had not been counted, doors locked while counting in violation of Florida statutes and on and on. Col. West was a victim of voter fraud by these two counties and the SOE’s who are partisan Democrats. These two counties were also involved in the Bush/Gore election. Apparently voter fraud has been going on in those counties for a long long time. This is absolutely disgusting and a black spot on Florida.
There have been accounts of elderly–from retirement or nursing homes being transported to the polls —-and being told —reminded
to vote for Obama. Also, Brietbart had a story about a group home for the mentally disabled—-who were told (brainwashed) to vote for Obama because he would “take care of them.”
This is worse than voter disenfrancisement, because someone who is not mentally aware can be encouraged or coerced into voting for someone they would never support. As a single woman, and an only surviving child—at some point —I may very well be in a home for the elderly and at the mercy of caretakers. When I’m not mentally aware—–I’d rather not vote at all—-
We now know how rampant voter fraud is now. North Dakota requires no registration at all. With all the transient workers there, it’s no wonder a Democrat ends up winning in a red state Senate election — people who voted twice, of course.
Thank you for this! Since I believe the 2012 presidential
election was lost due to massive voter fraud, I applaud this
women’s tenacity.
This is an issue I think the Tea Party needs to get involved in.
A personal story: My sister works as a server and a few years
ago her restaurant purchased new software for entering the
orders. On the touch screen, when one entered “steak”, for
instance, “pork chops” would be printed out. The whole kitchen
was in chaos and they had to handwrite their orders until the
machines were set correctly. When the machines were set up
initially, one (whomever that person is) had to touch one of the squares
in order to set up the system. When they touched the “square”
they did not touch their finger in the middle of the box. They
touched the “square” close to the edge, nearest the “pork chop”
box.
I am not saying this is exactly what happened, however, mention
it to demonstrate what could have happened.
No way with how people despised Obama that conservatives stayed home in the millions and did not vote because there was something about Romney they didn’t like.
They didn’t stay home; their votes somehow, some way were not
counted.
Until we citizens police this, we cannot have security in this
country for our vote means nothing.
Both the dems and the repubs are in on all of this takeover of
our country to socialist/communist/marxist policies and we should all be up in arms about it.
Research “Agenda 21″.
I just finished reading Glenn Beck’s “Agenda 21″ and I am floored. The scariest part about it is that is written from a foundation that is already laid in place.
Right now I’m also reading “Behind the Green Mask: UN Agenda 21″ by Rosa Koire. It is eye-opening, to say the least.
So much of Agenda 21 and the “sustainable development” initiatives in local areas are proposed as good and positive things. Reminds me of the following verses: “For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
Agenda 21 is evil, straight up. Become informed, and be proactive.
I’m so glad that you’ve educated yourself about Agenda 21. Now go FIGHT IT. Go to your local city council meetings. Get involved. And spread the word.
Here’s a quick and dirty overview to whet one’s appetite: “Agenda 21 for Dummies”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzEEgtOFFlM
Sadly a look at FreeRepublic and RightWingNews will show that many SoCons stayed home or voted 3rd party because Romney wasn’t conservative enough for them.
They want a Reagan like candidate to fall into their lap without doing any work to make it happen. They are more Democrat than they think.
It is very important for all Americans to inform themselves about Agenda 21 which President George H. Bush first signed in Rio at the Earth Sumitt. Elections in this country will soon become theater because all the laws and taxes that effect our loves will be decided by a select group of elite group of global buerocrats who are as Godless as George Soros and share his evil vision. I would have become a republican many years ago if it were not for the evil progressive Bush Free Mason Cartel. So many of our nations presidents are blood related. FDR was related by blood to 4 or 5 other US presiedensts. No wonder he ws able to stay in office for three terms!
I totally believe Romney won this election, and that it was stolen by massive, massive vote fraud. I think electronic touch-screen voting machines should be outlawed. In fact, I don’t trust ANY computerized, software-dependent voting.
Witness the following: When visiting my local Aldi’s just a few days ago, I bought two of the 3-packet yeast strips (I absolutely LOVE to bake). However, they scanned in as “monkey bread mix”, at four times the cost. The cashier repeatedly tried to void that particular item, then tried to manually enter the code for the yeast packets, but it defaulted to monkey bread mix. The store manager had to void the entire transaction and start over. He said “Out software has been acting funny all day long. We must have a glitch”. Well, duh.
Oklahoma has paper ballots, which I think should be done in all 50 states. Wouldn’t be a bad idea for the National Guard, local police, or the military to maintain a presence at every polling location nationwide, either. Let the Black Panthers TRY to intimidate voters, or the Democraps pull their shenanigans, when they’re looking down the barrel of an M-16.
Rrrrrgh . . . “OUR software”, not “out software”.
Paper ballots in every state would make it harder, not impossible, but harder for either party to cheat and get away with it. National Guard working with local PD is a good idea too. Just have a couple stationed outside to ward off troublemakers and a couple inside to guard the ballot box. When the voting and counting is done for the day the guardsmen under police escort can then take the ballot box and all the ballots inside to a secure location where they’ll be kept under tight watch for the required length of time in case a recount is needed/called for in a particular race. At no time while the ballots are at this secure location will ANYBODY be allowed unmonitored access to these ballots. Anybody granted access will be thoroughly searched and have any and all items removed from them which might be able to be used to tamper with the ballots. Anybody allowed access will also be under constant armed guard until they are no longer in the presence of the ballots. The guard can also provide security for the recount which will take place under several live video feeds (lets say a minimum of three) so that the public (and public watchdog organizations) can keep an eye on the recount and make sure no shenanigans take place. Should all the video feeds go down the recount will be halted immediately and the ballots secured once again by the guardsmen until the feeds are restored. Only once the feeds are restored will the recount be allowed to proceed once more. I think steps like this for at least the national elections would tell the world that we’re a lot more serious about our elections.
I totally concur with the use of paper ballots. (Now there is nationwide hacking into our bank accounts! Electronics are way too unmonitored and easy to hack into.) The thing that REALLY did it for me was when one of the larger states had Obama winning 99%of the votes–even a kindergartner knows that has to be bogus!! the upshot of this will be that legitimate voters will not go to the polls because they will figure what is the use!
It wasn’t the software per se, it was how the individual UPC codes were entered into their system with the corresponding product description and price. This happens all the time at some stores, and I always watch to see exactly what item and what price shows up on my receipt (and on the scanner screen) as the cashier scans the stuff. I find that sale prices are frequently not in “the system,” and the price on the shelf is not the price in the computer. The stores can make out like bandits from customers who don’t pay attention.
The thing about computers has always been “garbage in, garbage out.” Only as good as the programming and the data entry.
I put this on another thread, but here it is again
http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/the-big-list-of-vote-fraud-reports/
My biggest question is: Where is all the “Republican” outrage about this fraud. Especially within the electorial ranks?
Did they not want Romney because he would show their constituents how really awful they were? and how much they really didn’t work towards their good?
Honestly, the answer to your question is, the fix is in.
Have you seen this?
http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/gop-legally-barred-from-fighting-vote-fraud/
According to the article, the consent decree reads thusly:
The RNC must “refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose.”
Help me out here. Could the RNC get around this (clearly) one-sided decree by ensuring that if they conduct anti-vote-fraud activities in predominantly black precincts (which is, frankly, what this is about) that they conduct an equal number of anti-vote-fraud activities in predominantly white precincts? The decree specifically states that these efforts cannot be “disproportionately in or directed toward districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations…”
Of course, it would be best if the Supreme Court just struck down the whole thing, but merely holding the DNC to the same standard would not work because the DNC doesn’t really care about monitoring elections to make them clean and fair, they want to prevent the RNC from proving the level of fraud the DNC commits every election cycle.
I know it would take a substantial amount of manpower, but I would also think the Tea Party folks would be willing to volunteer their time to ensure that elections are clean. We cannot let the lefties steal the elections in the future.
I hate to state this, however, I honestly think most of our politicians don’t care, they go along to get along. I think most of them are
supportive of varying degrees of socialism/marxism/communism.
Additionally, these groups took over our schools and colleges decades ago. This has resulted in history and our constitution
being mostly ignored. I doubt they even know the difference between what our forefathers fought for and what they are wrongly bringing to our country.
No self respecting conservative would go along with what they
are doing to our country.
The repubs and dems are two sides of the same coin.
It is up to individuals, the citizens, to hold them accountable.
If the Tea Parties got involved at the local and state level, we
could have safe elections again. They are the only “opposition”
group that might have a chance to penetrate the corruption.
I confess, I am so Weary of feeling so powerless. We scream, we yell, yet nothing happens. Because of the MSM…it’s amazing how much power they have.
For example, the Obama’s are going on a 17 or 20 day vacation to Hawaii (at the cost of $4 million to the taxpayers) right as we’re about to go off the fiscal cliff and there will be Nary A Peep.
It’s good that voter fraud is being worked on now for next time rather than waiting for the next election. I wish a miracle would occur, and this most recent false election could be overturned. We ARE the majority and yet and yet…
I have wondered the very same thing. But I think it has to do with the fact that the Republicans do not want to be called “racists”. Obama has gotten away with everything! No other president would have gotten away with what he has. I think it because of the color of his skin. Look at what has happened to anyone who dares to even criticize Susan Rice! They are deemed racists.
Hello Kevin,
This woman desearves great praise and so does every poll watcher that worked for the republican party. But even if Romney won this election and was now our president elect, Americans still would not have decided who their next president would be. Election fraud and the leftists media’s failure to investigate any posibility if an election stolen by the dems has become a huge problem. But we also have another huge problem with our elections which was created by a completely different kind of fraud or perhaps a travisty of democracy; that is our primary elections. Romney lost to Obama because he was not the true choice of the majority of republican voters. And the majority of republican voters didn’t get to choose their nominee because the majority of republican voters live outside of Iowa and New Hampshire. I think that agreat way to start primary reform would be to have a lottery among the states and let about five random states have the first election and another randomly choosen states have the next until ever state has voted. This would also limit the effects of pollsters who manipulate voters and inform the candidates which states are “more important” than others. Campaigns should vist all states and make their case heard without any edge given to them by pollsters. This would also throw the media for a loop because it would be very difficult for them to preselect the nominee by brain washing viewers based on polls taken in certain states. If a conservative ran against Obama this time, without the orchestrated market crash that Soros created in 2008, the republican conservative would have won. Elections can be stolen when they are close races. But if there is an obvious ground swell of support for a candidate and the election some how turns out inconsistant with that fact, then the American people would have the responsibility and I believe the drive to insist on their candidate taking the office of president.
Rubbish
You are making a feeble attempt to justify letting Obama win
It is evident from your not mentioning a candidate that you do not truly believe a Social Conservative (as Romney is a Fiscal Conservative and thus your whining about not nominating a Conservative is untrue) could have won the election.
Reagan is the exception not the rule and the sooner SoCons get it into their heads that this is a long term battle and you don’t get everything you want straight away the better. The Democrats have understood this for a long time.
I applaud her commitment to fight voter fraud.
I just finished reading about Dr. Maria Santos Gorrostieta who was
murdered by the Mexican drug cartels. Her courage was awesome
and humbling. She had survived 2 previous assassination attempts, lost her first husband during the first attempt, and now
leaves 3 children. How could we not be inspired by her example?
Contrast that to Time considering? Sandra Fluke as person of the
year. Kind of like the Nobel Peace Prize for non-achievement. How
low can we go?
I choose to honor Dr. Gorrostieta and pray for her family. We still
have a chance to fight for our country. The progressives main weapon seems to be name calling and ridicule and what is that compared to what she endured?
Not only was the election stolen; corrupted in every way possible.
Not only is Agenda 21 being implemented..even faster now.
Barry Soetoro , the Usuper Punative President aka Obama unconstitutionally took office. He is NOT a “natural born citizen”.
http://www.puzo1.blogspot.com/2012/11/logic-and-defining-natural-born-citizen.html
at this site there is a running time clock of how long he has been in office. At the time I visited, it was at 1410 days, 02 hours, 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
Impeachment proceedings should have been started against him 2 years ago. The Republicans are Cowards. It is time for a new party to form. I suggested in an e-mail to Matt Kibbe that Freedom Works do a “hostile take over” of the Constitution Party. They would probably welcome over 2 million or more voters, not like the Republicans who stab Conservatives in the back…like they did to Sarah Palin. The Republican Party is dead and I will NEVER vote democrat because they have gone too far left, in fact they are the Left, Progressive, Communist, Islamist party of Satan. Republicans are the party of Rinos and they have compromised their principals and values away and are Big Government Progressives now too. There needs to be a new party built by the people that can be trusted to really restore the Constitutional Republic as it was formed to be.
Great article and kudos for writing it. I wish her much success.
It is without a doubt, this election was stolen by fraud, but what is even more sad, it the hundreds of thousands of military that never received their ballots, on purpose I might add, and thus were denied any kind of a vote. That, alone should have the masses irate from both sides.
From what I gather, because of a lawsuit for fraud, a few decades ago, Republicans have no right to protest fraud, but Dems can.
Obama can still be defeated, but it will never happen, if the electoral vote, votes against him in Dec. No one is brave enough to do the right thing.
He has been slightly quiet on his plans starting next year, because of that vote, after that, stand back and get your survival kits ready.
If has finally been exposed about him going after our retirement accounts.
On a side note Kevin, you were correct when you said Obama knew he was going to lose and thus rented a smaller arena.
My son’s trucking company was contacted about hauling bleachers to the venue, they were told it was for the concession speech????
I thought that was interesting.
Kevin – videos yanked. Now deemed “private.”
Any guesses?
I went directly to you tube and put Sharon Meroni ‘s name in and the videos popped up, you can see them there.
I’m sorry Romney lost, but maybe some good will come of it if people start treating this issue seriously. It’s been going on for a long time. Glad the country is waking up to it. They got real sloppy in this election.
The only solution is paper ballots that get counted and posted at the precinct level and then again at BOE–and the two counts need to match. Representatives of all political parties need to be present during counting. With paper ballots, there is the opportunity for stuffing, but it’s small potatoes compared to what can be done with a computer program.
I think this is a cause that could receive a lot of bipartisan support, if approached the right way. I was not aware till we were (I believe) defrauded this year how many Dems believed that Repubs stole the 2004 election….. I don’t know what the truth is, but I believe we should crusade for an auditable election in 2014. In other words, one that CAN be reconciled with hard copy, even if electronic. I will get acquainted with Sharon Meroni’s site and ponder further. Thanks as always for sending out this info.
I have not seen one GOP group, or otherwise focusing on this issue either Jaylene! I started collecting valid newsstories about voter fraud on Twitter, just to read for myself…and I have amassed a huge collection from ALL OVER the country! Not to mention the cases where people admitted to the fraud, and are in jail for it right now. It just keeps growing. Is it apathy? This is not just a case of “whining” & sore loser tactics. The Constitution was breached, and laws broken in massive numbers. If this isn’t a line in the sand for GOP..what is?
I think that except for a few front-line fighters the good old boy club didn’t want Romney to win. They didn’t come out for him before the election and certainly wouldn’t put themselves out after the election. He is too independent from them and they wouldn’t be able to manipulate him for their own needs.
I am beginning to think that the UN SHOULD come and watch our elections.
Google “DNC RNC Consent Agreement”. It will answer many questions re the RNC’s non-action.
And you should see the letter I sent the RNC right after I went to my County Election Board to change my voter affiliation from Republican to Independent. It’s almost — ALMOST — as good as Kevin’s writings are.
When I click on the video I get a message that says “This video is private.”
Now YouTube says the video is “private”. Did the Chicago powers take it down?
Our local conservative talk radio station WMAL in the DC area, had a lady who was an election judge call in and list the numerous violations that she witnessed (in VA) on election day. The show was flooded with emails and callers who had also witnessed violations around VA/DC area. The show has tried to track down accountability for election fraud through the numerous county/state election boards. They interviewed the VA State Attorney General (Rep & Conservative). He was very empathetic but said his office basically had its hands tied.
Two days after the first phone call and interview with the State Atty General – Chris Mathews and the Washington Post mocked and derided these people and totally twisted what the Atty General said.
The radio station is not giving up and doing a fantastic job of following this story. People should be aware of the efforts of this show and the election day reports that people are calling and emailing.
Here is a linky: http://www.wmal.com/article.asp?id=2582628&SPID=40282
Brian Wilson (WMAL) has bit onto this like a bulldog.
Other people who are upset with the elections should know that they are not alone.
Kevin,
Do you think it is possible with all the voting fraud
across all the states, that Mitt Romney really won?
Thanks for all you do!
Well, I’m not Kevin, so please forgive my jumping in. Regarding whether Romney actually won the election, I’d say “You’re damn skippy he did”!
Wouldn’t it be great if, when the Electors meet on December 17, they cast their votes for Romney instead of Zero? Perhaps not likely, but there have been instances before of Electors pledging for one candidate, then casting their actual votes for the other candidate.
This will probably never be seen, but I agree with your post and your “Wouldn’t it be great” 100%. ROMNEY WON.
In addition to fighting voter fraud, we need to figure out how to do something about the MSM. Sites like this one certainly help.
Hey SoLongSong & all HillBuzzers…there is a website and a campaign on Twitter, to hit the SPONSORS on MSM. I will provide a link below. Please look into it! There is much we can do, if we act in numbers and bombard these companies. Also, if we PASS IT ON. >> http://gregwhoward.com

I would say absolutely, when you consider hundreds of thousands of military were denied their ballots, many counties had up to 147% voting, poll watchers were escorted from their jobs. The machines were wrongly calibrated, and the CEO of the Spanish computer company was a bundler for Obama. Yep, fraud took away our victory and a possible recovery for our country.
Why are the videos “private?” (I can’t watch them. Others I have shared them with say the same thing.)
I am also experiencing trouble viewing the video(s).
Plz advise…
Now that computer programs tally urban votes, vote fraud will become technologically obsolete: those who control the computer output will determine who is “elected.”
I absolutely think Romney actually won the election and the only way O showed up as the winner was because of massive voter fraud. There is no way I cannot believe this is what happened when you see how heavily the deck was stacked against the Republican candidates – from the rigged voting machines, the lax to non-exisitent voter ID laws in pivotal states, the unbelievably corrupt and biased media choir supporting O’s every word and deed, even if they had to contort themselves into all kinds of subhuman, spineless, rat-like weasel positions to make their lies work, the shameless collusion with the O campaign by debate moderators and the kicking of the cans down the road for every controversial issue from Benghazi, to budget talks to you name it – just so nothing would sully the fantasy O and his campaign and colluders were trying to create….
Sad and scary thing is it worked…..and now we all just sit and wait to fall off the cliff….and not just the fiscal one.
I do hope America “wakes” up before it’s too late…..
What I do find interesting, though, is how “art” imitates life. Has anyone seen the show, “Scandal”? It’s on ABC at 10 PM Thursday nights, after “Grey’s Anatomy” (on my local channels). Last Thursday night the show was about how a huge scandal was brewing because a reporter was onto uncovering a unfathomable and shocking presidential election scandal wherein electronic voting machines in one OHIO county (Defiance County, to be precise) had been rigged to give a win to one candidate by a hair’s breath, when the other had actually won the election. Those involved in orchestrating the scandal went as high as a supreme court judge, the first lady, the president’s righthand man, a “fixer’ and a powerful captain of industry. Sound familiar?
Now if only in REAL life, some passionate and dedicated investigative reporter would exhibit the same zealous, fearless passion for truth and integrity and start doing their job(s)!
It would have been nice if someone had done this four years ago, but hey, I’ll settle for someone doing it NOW! For heaven’s sake.
Here is a brief summary of just how well Mitt Romney did in shifting voters toward him in 2012 versus what took place in 2008:
Barack Obama netted FEWER Democrat votes in 2012 than were cast in 2008 by 3% points.
Mitt Romney earned MORE Republican votes in 2012 than were cast in 2008 by 3% points
Barack Obama earned FEWER Black votes in 2012 than he did in 2008
Mitt Romney by the way, earned MORE Black votes in 2012 than were cast for the Republican in 2008.
Mitt Romney earned MORE votes from both married men and married woman than were cast for Republicans in 2008, while also improving support among non-married men and woman by 2% from 2008 as well.
Mitt Romney earned MORE votes among liberals, moderates, and conservatives than were cast for the Republican candidate in 2008 – in fact, this improvement was by a full 7% over 2008 – a very significant improvement.
Mitt Romney earned more votes from Protestants, Catholics, and Jews than the Republican nominee received in 2008, including a 9-point improvement among Jewish voters alone.
The two top issues according to voters were the economy and the budget. Mitt Romney earned A 38 POINT ADVANTAGE OVER BARACK OBAMA on the top two issues of the election – and yet Romney was somehow defeated.
Lastly, regarding the following three personal trait issues – strong leader, shares my values, and has a vision for the future, Mitt Romney DOMINATED Barack Obama among 2012 voters by 45 points. And lost the election.
Here is the link to the data via the Washington Post. It is stunning, some might even say inconceivable, that a candidate improves in such categories as overall votes among Whites AND minorities, is ranked far ahead of their opponent in both the top two concerns among voters, as well as the three most important personal trait issues – and still loses the election.
That is exactly what happened on election night. Somehow, someway…that is what happened to Mitt Romney – and to all who supported him.
See link below – and the dramatic shift in Republicans’ favor in 2012 vs 2008. A shift the resulted in a confounding loss that remains dubious at best…

As a resident i can tell you that those are NOT the only cases here. It is not time to change the voting rules just before the election. The time to make these changes was several months to a year before the primary.
Kevin posted this article on November 28, and nothing since. Its now December 12, so where is Kevin?

Very insightful……thank you for posting.
We All have to go after them cause it seems pretty obvious no elected officials are going to.
Where is everyone?
Is Kevin okay?
Kevin, where are you? If you are lying in bed, too depressed to move, I totally understand, because that’s how I feel, and if I didn’t have 3 kids to take care of, I’d barely leave the house now. Please post something soon just to let everyone know that you’re okay, which I hope you are. The last 2 months have been truly soul crushing, thinking about where we are now, and what could have been. I know we all need to snap out of it and move on and I’m not sure how, but I know reading all the Mitt bashing on the other sites isn’t helping me. God bless you for all your hard work and I hope you have a truly happy new year, in spite of everything.
Where has Kevin been? Worried!!!
where is kevin DuJean? Miss you
