Republicans were the ones trying to steal the election, but failed unlike the stolen Bush elections.

Winnnr ,
        You really need to do some research on how Barry O. stole the Presidency :what appears to be a “permanent red shift” with hackable voting machines, voter intimidation, unconstitutional redistricting, manipulation of the voter registration rolls, elimination of exit polls, and in Wisconsin, a lack of any real oversight by the Government Accountability Board.
In addition, the election integrity movement has never been so unified and demanding. The Atlantic, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, the New York Times and Washington Post all ran major articles on the possibility of stolen elections.
In the face of the massive power outages all along the Eastern Seaboard due to Hurricane Sandy, millions of ballots cast in the 2012 presidential election might have to be counted either by hand with paper ballots, or via email and fax, leaving more room for possible fraud.
Since 2000, when a court decision deemed Bush winner, and again in 2004, we have watched as presidential elections were likely stolen. Today we understand election fraud isn’t just someone stuffing ballot bags in the middle of the night. It is a tail of suppressive activities and rigged voting systems. The latest addition is that 19 states will no longer have exit polls. These are usually conducted by major networks and the Associated Press. Without exit polls, election fraud becomes even easier since there is no basis for comparison between how voters claim to have cast their ballots and the tally of votes resulting from potentially rigged systems.
The road to true election reform is long and rocky. It might be too late to stop the theft of this election, but we can pay attention and continue to work for change in our elections. This includes community education, changes in election laws, banning hackable voting machines and an overhaul of the system to include hand counted paper ballots.

Without the true voice of the people as determined through an accurate ballot count, America is headed into becoming a fascist state, with corporate control of our government as the ruler. A non-participatory democracy is no longer an option. If it appears that this election is stolen, the only answer is for people to rise up and resist, as the African American voters did in the 1960s to win their civil rights. No matter who “wins” we must continue this tidal wave of protest and reform to gain back our right to vote in fair, open and transparent elections.
