In reply to the discussion: Hmmm… Why Was Karl Rove So Adamant that Romney Not Concede Ohio? [View all]democrattotheend
(11,605 posts)If these sources are really true I think there was some definite funny business going on. But I can't say that it was out and out stolen, because almost every poll going into Election Day had Bush winning, and there was no late-breaking surge for Kerry nationally. It's possible that some votes were shaved from Kerry and if so that is very disturbing and needs to be investigated. But I don't think 110,000 votes were stolen from him, because 2012 proves that rigging the machines can only make up so much without being detected.
I think the OP might be onto something about 2012 as well. I don't know if Karl Rove was involved in a rigging scheme, but it is fishy to me that Ohio was so close when Obama outperformed the polls nationally and in almost every other battleground state by a couple points.
