If Romney steals this election as I suspect they will try, it will be the coronation of a criminal..

bigger that Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush combined.

A tax evading, draft dodging bully in the White House!

If we let these criminals steal our democracy for a third time, this nation will be domed to fascism for all time. There will be no return, we will see a recession that will surpass the last great recession and possibly even the depression. People will be forced to live in the street in unprecedented numbers and wages will plummet to their lowest level since Ronald Reagan took office. Unemployment will be the normal form a majority of Americans. This time, there will be no security nets, as they will bust Social Security and vouchered Medicare for those already receiving it and the rest will no longer be eligible. Forget about retirement, you will be working until you die.

This nation will be plunged into more war and vulnerable to more terrorist attacks.

Women will be raped and forced to carry the baby to term.

Education will be reserved for the wealthiest among us.

Romney is here to finish the job that Richard Nixon was thwarted from and which Ronald Reagan started. The oligarchs will not stop until they have taken it all.


Sound pretty bleak, doesn't it, but it is all likely to happen if the tax evading, draft dodging, bully criminal Romney becomes President.

What will you do to prevent this from happening?

Quit telling people what they can and can't post about. Smart people who have watched this shit before knows what is about to happen. They will not stop being concerned about it for you.

It is a very legit concern. One you should bring yourself up to date on. Check out Bradblog.com

There is nothing on the face of the earth that will keep a DUer from the polls today. So there is no way that they can effect the vote by being aware of the past vote theft and watchful and concerned about it continuing.

Without a legit vote, we, America, is NOT a Democracy.

With the lack of enthusiasm amongst moderate Republicans, an incredible amount of enthusiasm amongst us partisan Democrats and an excellent GOTV efforts that may have even surpassed those of '08, It's far less likely that the election will be stolen than in '04 during a race that actually was very close.....this year, there's actually a higher chance of an Obama blowout(350+ EVs) than even a narrow Romney win.

I can't believe some people are so naive to think a stolen election could not possibly happen when it just happened a few years back with george bush. Where were you people living at that time?

Possibility is a reasonable, assuming before any polls have closed or significant problems arise borders on hysteria. Voted today in MO. I used a machine and saw the paper record come up correctly as I voted.
Everyone should vote and be sure they are comfortable with their voting experience. It's the only one you can control.

BTW I was in Missouri

We use paper ballots with the optical scanner but of course not all states do.

The OP says "If" and that he/she "suspects" they will try to steal the election.

I live in Arizona where there have been problems in my state concerning this election. For instance in Maricopa County, the largest county in AZ, the Spanish-speaking voters wrong election date. And just a few days ago it came out that Jeff Flake's (R) robocalls were going out to registered Democrats giving them the wrong information on where they should go to vote.

And then there is this...

Thousands report voting problems
Tuesday, November 6, 2012

Long lines aren’t the only problems voters are facing across the country. Particularly in battleground states, reports of voting problems were flooding into vote-protection groups.

The Election Protection Coalition, comprised of more than 100 local organizations dedicated to protecting the right to vote, reported 53,000 complaint calls by 2 p.m. Eastern time.

Calls to “our hotline are spiking,” said one official with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under Law, a lead organization in the coalition, ate 2p.m.

Many of the problems were coming from battleground states, including recurrent voting machine breakdowns and malfunctions in traditionally Democratic areas of Ohio including Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo.
