From the Maker of Unskewed Polling Comes: The Obama Voter Fraud Map...

In the last weeks of the election, Dean Chambers became famous for putting into numbers what other conservative put into words. The polls that showed Mitt Romney losing must, said Chambers, have been skewed. He launched UnSkewedPolls.com to recalibrate all national and state polling data to match the electorate he expected in November. He never showed less than a Romney win.

Anyway, the polls were right. Chambers has moved on, launching BarackOFraudo.com, "exposing how they stole the 2012 election." It leads off with a map of the 2012 election that blacks out Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and Virginia. They are "states won by Obama fraud." What's Chambers going on for that?

"I'm getting credible information of evidence in those states that there enough numbers that are questionable and could have swung the election," he says. "I'm only putting good credible information on there, like the actual vote counts, reports, and mainstream publications reporting voter fraud. There's a lot of chatter, though. There are articles people have sent me that don't hold up. Crazy stuff."...

Rachel Maddow featured Slates article on her show and pointed out the obvious racial symbolism of the four states being "blacked" out.

Can you imagine what the "crazy stuff" is that this guy rejected?

1. Which stage of grief would this one be?

I guess the 2nd one, Anger. I doubt they'll make it to 5.

1) denial

2) anger

3) bargaining

4) depression

5) acceptance

[ObaMania]

2. Does "Head Explode" fit in there somewhere? n/t

[Posteritatis]

22. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, Scanners. (nt)

16. Don't hold your breath...

...on step #5.

[Scuba]

3. When the facts don't fit your argument, get some new facts.

[Indi Guy]

14. Facts schmacts...

Facts didn't get in the way of the virulent right wing during the campaign; so it would be unrealistic to expect facts to carry any weight post-election.

Cynical "factiness" will always serve them whose agenda is to denigrate those whom they irrationally fear. (I may put this in my signature.)

[Botany]

4. He is the same tub of goo that said Nate Silver was wrong because he was ...

.... "slight and effeminate."

[liberal N proud]

8. This guy said that about this guy?

That is BIG of him!

[Botany]

11. That is the one.

Conservative darling Dean Chambers, founder of the website unskewedpolls.com that purports to recalibrate political surveys to rid them of liberal bias, argued that New York Times polling guru Nate Silver cannot be trusted because he is a weak, little girly-man.

In a post for Examiner.com, Chambers sought to discredit Silver’s recent statistical analysis that showed Romney flatlining in the presidential race. Chambers, who rose to prominence by asserting that pollsters were nefariously skewing their results in favor of Democrats, insisted that Silver’s latest finding was more indication of that perceived liberal bias.

BTW Nate just came out of the closet too
BTW part 2 as a straight guy I only care that Nate is happy and finds love in his life.

12. Eureka!

Umm... I think I now know where the acronym ORCA came from.

17. Chambers isn't slight

But rather portly. Probably squeals like a pig.

[truthisfreedom]

5. This is the "Crap, Rapture didn't come!" group.

People like this prey on weak-minders.

[JHB]

6. He has a rather expansive view of the term "credible information"...

From what I've read on his site (not much, mind you) it boils down to "too many black people voted, so it MUST be fraud!"

[Coyotl]

20. His information is credible. Tons, tons of precincts voted 100% Obama, zero votes for Mitt

It is true, tons of precincts voted 100% Obama, zero votes for Mitt.
His inference that 100% of the people in a precinct cannot vote for a liberal, black dude is his problem.

That's his whole case, MUST be fraud if 100% voted Obama.
I suggest he move to one of those precincts to do more study.

7. The discussion of fair elections is a good thing

The not-so-thorough press in America barely understands this subject. The public needs to know how elections work. The laws could be changed to make elections proper and fraud proof.

9. Bwahahahaha

Isn't it funny how theses are the states that were at the fore front of voter ID,decreased early voting and other voter suppression tactics,and Obama still won them!Not to mention he would of won without Florida,Ohio or Virginia.PA is a pipe dream just because Pennsyltucky is in the middle of the state doesn't equal votes from Philly and Pitt which trump them every time.

[yardwork]

13. Welcome to DU! I noticed the same thing.

These are states where the Republicans attempted to steal the vote.

[Shankapotomus]

10. I also noticed Chambers

seems to be purging pre-election articles from his unskewedpolls.com site. A lot or all of the links there were dead last time I checked. I guess he wants as few people as possible to know what an unreliable source of utter crap he is.

[Rstrstx]

15. I think the only reason Pennsylvania is on that map..

..is because even without FL, OH and VA Obama still would have had 270+ EV.

[Coyotl]

21. Exactly, evidence the dude can add, at least. LOL

[GeorgeGist]

18. A different take ...

As long as SLATE is distracted by this CRAP, it isn't focusing on useful stuff.

[graywarrior]

23. All is suffering.....Buddha

I love it.

24. Locking - not Latest Breaking News

The hosts have come to the conclusion that the attempts of this loser to keep himself relevant by talking bollocks are not 'news'. There is a thread on this in the Politics 2012 forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251252874 . Please continue discussion there.
