AP Officially Calls Florida for Obama 4 Days After the Election

The Associated Press has officially called the state of Florida for President Barack Obama four days after the general election, putting Obama’s electoral vote tally at 332 to Mitt Romney’s 206.

The Romney campaign had already conceded the state, which finished counting its votes on Saturday.

Florida officials said Obama received 50 percent of the vote to Romney’s 49.1 percent, winning by about 74,000 votes, according to the AP.

Obama had already clinched the necessary 270 Electoral College votes to secure a second term, regardless of Florida’s outcome.

      This election was STOLEN!!! Obuma used the ‘all of the above’ option for fraud! WHY ISN’T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?? WTF BLAZE? ARE YOU AFRAID TO ADMIT IT? WOULD YOU RATHER JUST BEND ‘FORWARD’ AND TAKE IT?

      Missing ballots.
      States with No voting ID required go big for O, while ones that require ID go big for Romney.
      Large numbers of absentee and provisional ballot still not counted.
      Counties with up to 140% percent of the population voting?
      4,700 POUNDS of military ballots destroyed in plane crash?
      Source code to rig Electronic voting machines?

      Why don’t I see any of those as headlines BLAZE? Are you warriors for truth or cowards for deception? BRING THESE THINGS TO LIGHT BEFORE THE SHTF!!

      I don’t believe half the voting population is that stupid. EXIT POLLS CONTRADICT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION! I’d be surprised if even 25% of the votes went to Obuma truthfully.

      Now the question is: What are We The People gonna do about it?

      We need MASSIVE PROTESTS at every state capital DEMANDING A RE-DO of elections WITH PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!!

      Why papper ballots only? HERE’S WHY:
      2004: A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER TESTIFIES UNDER OATH JUST HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO RIG AN ELECTION, AND THAT HE MADE A SIMPLE CODE FOR DOING SO AND NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW IT HAPPENED!!!

      http://theulstermanreport.com/2012/11/09/could-we-fix-an-election-sure-they-would-never-know-it/

      HALF THE NATION WAS NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR OBUMA AGAIN!! Don’t play they’re game of DIVIDE

      @Raging. 100%agree. I’ve been trying for days to get Glenn to look at this. I even offered to pay for the cost. Nothing but crickets.
      HOWEVER, CALL TO ACTION! I have a real, doable solution that doesn’t involve civil war. Every national election goes to the electoral college, then it MUST be certified by the US House! Last time, Boehner rubber stamped it. He will again this time. Unless…Patriots, we all want to DO something, well now’s our chance. We MUST compromise Boehner, either to resign as Speaker, or to go along with what we want. What we want is a total, transparent, honest recount of ALL the swing states. Here’s what we do. Use their tactics against them for a change. Let’s get off our azzes & dig up dirt on Boehner. Find out who ran against him in his last election, they may have some dirt on him. Google our fingers off digging up anything we can on him. Those of you near his hometown,doesn’t he own a bar? Go there, talk to people who don’t like him. Find someone with an axe to grind. If we can compromise Boehner, or force a new Speaker friendly to the people, we have a real chance to turn this around. It ain’t great, but it’s better than sitting around whining & watching our country fade away. Start emailing the tea party reps they will have some ideas. LETS ROLL guys! We can do this!

      No they don’t. In fact, the election results are also consistent with polling just before the election. At no time did Romney have an advantage in the electoral college, so why would this be a surprise?

We are about to become a 3rd world power not a supper power. I am just tired of fighting for the future of today’s youth. If they insist on voting for this kind of gov., they can pay for it.

      Bodybag,

      141% percent is the percentage of “cards” submitted. If you look at the vote totals, you can see they are at 71% of the total registered voters. Each voter submitted two cards because the ballot was that long, so the percentage is twice as high. Case closed.

      That is a complete lie. You should be ashamed to be fooled by people who are using you for entertainment purposes. As shown on their official summary, only 71% of registered voters voted for president. Almost half voted for Romney. The 141% comes when you add the senate votes to the presidential votes – just a strange way they calculate total votes.

      INSTEAD OF THE DUMB ASS PRIMARIES with little statie-waities fighting to see WHO GOES FIRST, and spending MILLIONS OF DOLLARS…. THE RNC needs to do this:

      FIND THE 5 most eligible candidates for PRESIDENT (N, E, S. W an middle of USA) then they need to vet the hell out of them (Pity the SOB who has a mistress or lover-boy, embezzlement or tax fraud in his past) THEN they need to hold 5 votes; N,E, S, W, and MIDDLE) winner of the 5 takes all and the other 4 have agreed to throw their campaign $, workers, facilities, etc. behind Him or Her.

      THEN between now and 2014 ALL OF US NEED TO DEMAND VOTER ID, BALLOT BOX REFORM, damnittohell, so that via Computer, YOU will know in MIAMI if PATTY HENRY VOTED in OREGON. YOU’ll have my ID, even my finger print. AND I MEAN THIS. OTHERWISE we’re going to have every election robbed. HELL FIRE…in ALLEN WEST’S DISTRICT they were SUBSTITUTING PRE MARKED
      MURRY BALLOTS for WEST ones as they COUNTED the ABSENTEE vote. WHO GIVES A DAMN if you have to sign the envelope… they stand there with faux ballots ready to go. they open the envelope, count it and as it goes to the inspectors, the faux one is inserted. MY dogs could to that.

      THOSE DOPES try to say: WELL there was a DEM/GOP inspector…no there wasn’t! NOT when the EVELOPES were opened and enclosed ballot counted. THE FRIGGIN’ ENVELOPES were counted, wow. then the PILES OF SUPPOSED ENCLOSED BALLOTS counted (even folded to fool any one) I mean it’s

      he will take a stance of getting the PROCESS fixed FIRST.

      OKAY? 5 PRIMARY elections…not 20+ … SHORT SEASON 3 months max. TOTALLY VETTED candidates and pity the fool that tries to lie and damnit teach then how to speak and read and take an interview.

      There was def voter fraud on a wide scale basis. Nevertheless we now have a Communist government. Obama is a Communist and so are the operating thru him. Make no mistake this is not the democratic party of the past. Im afraid we are going to experience things that we have never seen in this country before. We are just seeing the beginnings of it as many companies shed jobs to counteract the effects of Obamacare. We cannot sustain the growing number of people who cannot support themselves. And when people do not have enough money, food etc it could possibly get very ugly. We are a country in transition and it is not a future that is consistent with the Founders vision for our country.

      The number of course is that showing how many Americans are on foodstamps, and usually is released at the end of the month, or the first day or two of the next month. This time the USDA delayed its release nine days past the semi-official deadline, far past the election, and until Friday night to report August foodstamp data. One glance at the number reveals why: at 47.1 million, this was not only a new all time record, but the monthly increase of 420,947 from July was the biggest monthly increase in one year. One can see why a reported surge in foodstamps ahead of the elections is something the USDA, and the administration may not have been too keen on disclosing.

      Bodybag, for your conspiracy theory to work, and for the 141% figure to be accurate, you would have to say that 249,095 people showed up to vote when there were only 175,554 voters, right?

      Well, according to the vote totals, only 124,606 votes were counted. You are suggesting that 249,095 “turned out” to the polls, but only half of them actually voted. That doesn’t sound like very effective voter fraud.

      Kind of blows your nonsense out of the water.

      “Cards Cast” includes the fact that the ballot was two cards long, therefore each voter cast two cards. This fact distorts the percentage for every one of those counties. The actually turnout in this case was 71%.

Give all your money to the poor and follow Christ. And voter fraud is stealing and a lie so you got 2 sins in one action. And not everybody gets the chance to ask for forgiveness and you must believe in Christ as the only son of God and that he died for your sins.

      Dear Mr. @ KeatonC333: I am fascinated by your posts. Clearly you are enamored with the Democratic Party, or perhaps simply disgusted with Republicans. Why? The vast majority of your posts involve the ugly business of gloating, with a smattering of Democratic Party line thrown in for good measure (…vote democrat! [sic] as [sic] long as your [sic] a smart white man, woman, hispanic [sic], african american [sic], gay, or any other minority!) You welcome African Americans into your big tent, but are clearly hostile toward Alan West. Did you realize that he is…(*whispering*)…black?? You also state emphatically that President Obama is NOT a socialist, and condescendingly ask if the responder knows what that is.

      Now that I have recapped your action on this feed, I would ask you…what do you stand for? What specifically motivated you to support this President for a second four-year term? I am asking this of those who voted for President Obama, because I am extremely perplexed about why there didn’t seem, in this election, to be overwhelming concern about our country’s fiscal survival and the future of our children. Will you kindly state one or two reasoned thoughts on why you believe the President will right our listing economic ship? I hope that those who voted “D” will be able to ease my mind a bit by noting something I’ve missed which points to a positive economic outlook. I’ll wait for your reply, while ensuring MY financial house is in order…

      I would love to explain my vote! First and most importantly for me was guaranteeing the survival of the ACA… (Obamacare) I truly believe that giving over 40 million people the ability to not choose between cancer treatment and selling their house is a beautiful thing, and I would gladly sign up in a second to help pay for it! even though i don’t make over 250,000 a year. I mean you want to talk christian values, whats more christian than that? secondly i believe he is far better for the economy! he has taken us from losing 800,000 jobs a month when he took office to creating 200,000 secondly you guys like to talk about trickle down economics, Trickle down economics is a very unproven theory. you don’t take into account corporate greed and outsourcing. It appeared to work under Reagan, but what you guys forget is Reagan also raised Taxes more than any president in our nations history! that helps a deficit tremendously. as for other examples id love to see you make the case of how trickle down economics worked under Bush! Obama is following a clinton-esc economic approach and last time that was enacted we had a surplus! as for my gloating.. I do not feel bad gloating on a website so ridiculous that they run stories on how Obamas ring he wore in college proves hes gay!

      @Keaton I hate to inform you but you did not vote Biblical principals. Homosexual marriage is an abomination to God as is abortion. So you full well have the murder of many aborted babies plus the partial birth abortions where they survive and then are murdered on your hands!

      Thank you, sir, for your honesty, and, if it weren’t for your final comment, I would have put you into the category of “we’ll have to agree to disagree.”
      As a metastatic cancer survivor, I applaud your concern for cancer patients. I survived, thanks to God, excellent doctors and good insurance through the military. I agree with you that Christians should and must be willing to step up to help others. However, we are not compelled to look to the government to take care of that for us. That would be far too easy. I am in agreement with you that there must be reforms in insurance laws, but I fear that, once fully implemented, Obamacare will be our nudge over the fiscal cliff.
      Regarding jobs and trickle down, I simply ask for the whole picture. Your jobs assessment doesn’t account for the entire employment picture. http://www.foxbusiness.com/government/2012/10/05/real-unemployment-rate/. Underemployment is likely to figure heavily into continued slow- to no growth in the coming months. On trickle down, you are correct that Reagan raised taxes and closed loopholes, but you fail to mention that this was while lowering the top tax bracket from 50% to 28%. http://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2012/jun/25/gerry-connolly/rep-gerry-connolly-says-reagan-raised-taxes-during/ Reagan was willing to work with a Democratic House/Senate and was still successful in reinstalling American confidence and patriotism.

      KEATON…

      “I truly believe that giving over 40 million people the ability to not choose between cancer treatment and selling their house is a beautiful thing”

      THIS is where we fundamentally differ. Home owners typically HAVE health insurance… If you are selling your home to pay for medical care then you are living above your means… and have made a series of poor financial decisions. Those people are lucky to have a home as their “safety net”… and that’s exactly what the equity incurred is for.
      If you want to argue that Obamacare insures the poverty- stricken among us, then maybe i will listen.
      Your argument, however, advocates for average tax payers covering the costs for sick people that actually have assets that can be liquidated! How friggin absurd! Why protect those assets when the same people you endorse also want to confiscate them when you die?
      Also… why empower private business (corporate greed) with a mandate that you buy their product? So they can prescribe more and more drugs? with virtually zero checks and balances on it?
      I hate to say it but… i would support single payer before i support Obamacare…

      Obamacare may be an altruistic concept.. but there is no way to implement it without risking the welfare of the entire Union…

      You support unions, right? Try supporting the one that gives you the freedom to be so wrong.

      Finally…HUH?? You were going along so nicely until you brought up the “gay/ring” article as a justification for gloating. Gloat if you must, but please be intellectually honest. Here is the article link: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/does-obamas-mystery-ring-really-have-there-is-no-god-except-allah-inscribed-in-arabic/. If you will read the text carefully, you will see that The Blaze actually debunks the idea that the ring has any significance regarding the President’s religion, and has nothing to do with his sexual preference. What was that all about??

      They used to be “Pavement”…
      now they are “R.E.M.”…

      Many of them prefer Paul Ryan to Ron Paul..

      Yeah, who do you think owned all the bonds that Obama busted to “0″ when HE, Obama, BANKRUPTED GM? All the retired ‘coupon-clippers’! All the non-union retirees got their retirement moved to PBGC, while all the union retirees got theirs valued at 100% from the gubment guarantees! So, I wonder how many formerly independent retirees will now be dependent upon welfare? I’m almost 65. I don’t mind working until I drop, but it would ‘cost’ my employer twice as much to keep me on the payroll as someone 10 years younger, if I let my employer pay for my healthcare! When I realized his dilemma, I said I’d rather have the job than the employer-provided healthcare (which costs me about 1/3 of what it would cost him, but mine is AFTER I PAY TAX on the money, which makes it about 1/3 more expensive to me–careful, it’s a different 1/3)!

      I’m not shy about saying that I’m not armed. I feel no need to compensate for a lack in other areas…

      I applaud eagerness… but you guys are about 8 or 9 yrs ahead of schedule…. quit stroking your Muskets before you wear down the barrel.

      Revolution only comes when the majority of citizens are outraged. Right now the majority is numb-to-the-teeth clueless.

    To those of you who continue to post endlessly about the events of this past Tuesday and how upset and depressed you are, it is time that you pull your head out of your 4th point of contact and get about the business of life. Let it be a lesson to you that when you live your life only for those things of man that you are doomed to failure. When you live your life for Jehovah God, you receive an …endless supply of joy, peace, happiness and self control. Life is too short to go around being miserable over something as truly trivial as an election when you look at the big picture. We are but a moment in this life and to just live for this world is not honoring to He whom gave you life.

    Also, to those of you who feel vindicated and justified by the events of Tuesday, your time is coming as well. That of man will never stand.

    For everyone that had tried or did vote illegally or caused fraud it doesn’t matter where they are or where they go there will always be a Judgement Day for all.

      Voter fraud is lying about one’s legal ability to vote. Lying is a sin. 9th commandment.

      Liberalism is a mental disorder. Progressives are a virus. Democrats are Godless.

      That is for you to look up. You might check the ten commandments first and work from there.

      Keaton … it is nothing like that as you have to earn God’s forgiveness just not pretend. He does know the difference.

      correction as it should have been —–”We find freedom when we find God: we lose it when we lose Him”

      However, I do think we have lost a lot of freedom with Obamacare, a lot of regulations and bad investments, etc and I pray that freedom and justice is forthcoming.

    When the liberals vote repeatedly is this a surprise. All those absentee ballots are double and triple voting. Vote absentee and then early and often. This election has a familiar stench to it.

      PubliusPencilman, I’ve seen Statements of Votes Cast showing more ballots cast than there are registered voters, in several counties. The mainstream media will not cover this.

      MEC: Why do you think the Obama administration has been able to push all of their ” transparent” Big Lies ?? Because the media is in their pocket. Worked for Goebbels . Took a war to run that crew out.
