Either this is fraud or deep racism!

Obama used Hispanics to win Virginia!

He used children on college campuses, and Latinos to win Florida

The young and the restless! 10 million less votes than 08
Hardly a mandate!
Theres no time like the present

A man that stands for nothing....will fall for anything!

All people need to do more on every level!

    People on college campuses are children? I mean, if you're in college, chances are that by November 6th of you're first year, you're 18, an adult, and therefore allowed to vote.

    How did Obama 'use' hispanics? Maybe they just voted for him because as a group, they liked his policies better.

    And hypothetically, let's say I wanted to risk prison time for committing election fraud... I wouldn't do it so obviously as to have zero for Romney... That's just stupid.

    It is racism. As in Republicans are out of touch and they have pretty much admitted that it cost them big. :oops:

    more than that, and if you check out california and some other blue states there are lots of votes to be counted. By the end his lead should be more.

    Time to accept defeat, move on, and perhaps reevaluate some of your views. 8-)

    He didn't get my vote either but I promise you, no racism was involved in my decision.

    I was speaking to the outdated voting system not to who won or how many votes
    but very nice interactive map 8-) thanks I like it!

    the article doesnt state that in fact rMoney got zero votes in those precincts, which everyone would find odd, it states that he garnered 0% which could mean that his votes didnt amount to 1%. i agree worth looking into thou

    IMO totally racist, but so are all the other comments about socialists, freeloaders, makers vs takers, entitlements and etc... if obama was white you wouldnt hear any of that. is it a coincidence that this is the first time were hearing this talk... when we have the first black president?
    the perception being that minorities (african americans) are lazy and sponge off the government and since obama is black he gives these moochers freebies. tell me where the handouts are? where does the line form? someone please create a google map and pinpoint where moochers are getting obama handouts and freebies?

    "Using" Hispanics? So you're saying it is racism to go after the largest growing group of voters in the country? Mobilizing a historically under-voting population? This is something you have a problem with?

    If Romney had the balls or, you know, the platform to go after college kids and Hispanics he would have done so willingly and without hesitation.

    fear4freedom: Change your tactics or go away. Romney lost. Get over it. If Obama was such a weak candidate, as you continually try to point out, then Romney was a lousy pick by the GOP to go up against him. Come up with meaningful suggestions as to what this country needs to do to succeed, or shut the &^%* up. Romney lost. Obama is president for 4 more years. Stop acting like a 2 year old. Do something positive and constructive for a change. The election is over. If you hate the president so much, which is evident, then rally behind our country instead. We need less whining little rhetoric pushers like yourself.

    yeah that was a conservative estimate on my part. i had heard it was higher but it was not worth my time to fire up the old googlemachine to find the exact number.

    i'm sorry, but if you lose by a million votes, 2 million votes, 3 million votes, or 25 votes, you still lost the popular vote.

    election is over. everyone can we please focus on the next one?

    Please don't go away! Last I heard we have freedom of speech even here ;) though

    Then go write your Georgia state reps and governor and tell them to support National Popular Vote.

    All the states that have adopted it are blue states, and now the red staters are bitching about the electoral college. :roll:


    By the way, this is a lot of sour grapes. Go to West Philly or North Philly and find me half a dozen Romney voters and I'll buy you a fancy steak dinner. Also Philly has very small precincts, some of them literally in somebody's garage, so Romney getting zero votes in some of them isn't as ridiculous as it seems. Hey, we don't have people waiting in line for 8 hours to vote!


    One more thing, as others said, this is a substantial victory in the popular vote considering our country's idealogical divisions. Over a 3 million vote difference now.

    Well that's just it...a lot of those precincts barely had any registered Republican voters at all...maybe 8 in total. When they sent reporters out to interview them, the ones they found stated they voted for Obama. It doesn't surprise me at all that Romney got 0% of the vote in those precincts.

    I dont like the electoral system either.

    These guys campaign in like 4 states for a year. Policies can be based on pandering to a few states out of 50.

    I dont know what the answer is. If you toss out the EC, we will see campaigning concentrated in only the biggest cities.

    I think maybe keep the electoral college, but allocate the votes based on the % in each corresponding state. So say California is 40 EC votes and Obama wins 75%, he gets 30, Romney gets 10. Maybe even run it off the a hundreth of an EC Vote.

    I would also like to see things a little more 21st century as far as voting goes. I would like to see uniform, electronic voting systems throughout the country that can be counted very quickly and accurately.

    Lastly, a President gets 1 6-year term and thats it.

    in some of those precincts in Philly where Romney got no votes there are ZERO registered republicans. as in none, no one, zilch. so yea not hard to understand that Mitt didn't get any votes there.

    heard that the candidates only campaigned in 10 states this cycle. if you went by popular vote only they'd campaign in about 4 states and you'd only have to win about 4 or 5 states to win the election. I don't think the popular vote is the answer but i think tweaking the number of electoral votes per state is a better solution.

    Yeah, it ought to be a bipartisan thing, since deep red and deep blue states are equally harmed by the EC and can combine for 270 EV's to basically throw out the EC, but thus far it has only received support from blue states (I imagine this is a reaction to the Gore EC defeat, but it could have gone the other way in 2004 and maybe this year).

    I've never understood the argument that the entire campaign would pander to big cities under a NPV system. There are people in big cities, people in suburbs, people in exurbs and people in rural areas. I don't think any one group would dominate the election.

    dont assume our elected officials want a democracy, of by and for the people! its all about control, take control from the masses and put it in the hands of a few.
    carve up the districts, offer 1 alternative (or in boehners case none!), make it so 3 or 4 states determine the winner (ohio and florida) and give the electoral college overriding power.

    voters = shareholders, powerless owners of the government and companies
    electoral college = board of directors, decision makers

    Chalk up one vote here in favor of the Electoral College as is. The system may not be perfect but it works far more often than it doesn't and it is the only reason some of the smaller states have a voice. No candidate would pay attention to the Montanas, Wyomings and Idahos if we were in a popular vote system. There simply aren't enough votes in these states to make it worth spending the resources to campaign there. And don't say that no one campaigns in those states now. No one campaigns there only because their outcomes are not currently in doubt. New Hampshire has only four electoral votes and was as hotly contested as Ohio or Florida. As soon as any small state shows a hint of turning purple candidates will flock to it.
