After a couple of hours reading whatever I could find both left and right, I could find nothing that proved there was some form of massive fraud to steal an election going on, spearheaded by the nefarious and ubiquitously present Obama, who seems to be running any number of scams and socialist takeover plans. Mostly it seems to be individuals trying to meet expectations, and some pretty poor hiring practices and supervision. A few isolated cases of fraud in registrations.
