2. I am interested in honest elections and democracy
Obviously I would prefer that those who vote made intelligent and informed decisions based on issues, but I won't hold my breath.

Obama could win and there could still be fraud. I don't think they changed enough votes to overcome a landslide last time, so a big win would bury the fraud, just as happened in 2006 where we could have and maybe did win more than we thought.

Also, keep in mind that some things have changed, such as some state rejecting the voting and tabulating machines used previously once they were shown to be hackable. That could also make a difference, as could voter awareness of those problems, which would make people pay attention to their vote and/or vote with verifiable methods.
