Fix an election or commit election fraud ever again?
I honestly thought that Romney was going to win, this year, thanks to Husted, Scott, voting machines, etc.

Greg Palast on How the GOP Is Planning to Steal the 2012 Election

They tried everything, but, Obama still won. Is it because, except for Rove, even those folks, wouldn't still play extremely dirty, like Katherine Harris, since they value their families reputation, above all else?

Again with social media and other things like that, it would be impossible today, to pull a 2000 and 2004, again?

I don't think it's totally out of the woods on a local or state level. Look at the WI recall, where the polls where tied, but yet, Walker winds up winning by 6 points?

I hope only progressives, liberals and independents respond. All Republicans will do is say I'm full of **** and Bush won fair and square and had more votes in both (even though Harris knocked off over 100k off the rolls when they shouldn't have been and votes were mysteriously switched in the middle of the night in OH by some computer outfit in TN).

Also, if they come on and say that Obama "suppressed votes" and "the margin of victory was more than predicted by most", that's only since the GOP and its supporters, underestimated (as well as some liberals) the turnout by minorities and youth for Obama.

I'm an independent. Whether or not Bush won the election is a moot point. Whether or not Obama won the election is a moot point. The fact is, Bush won the election, and Obama won the election. It doesn't do any good to drag up something from over a decade ago, quite frankly. I haven't heard anyone say that Obama's camp committed voter fraud, and honestly could care less. I'd much prefer that we move forward from the election than spend months going over every vote to try to overturn an election. It's costly and does nothing to heal our country.

On the issue of voter fraud, until/unless we require proof of identification at every polling place, voter fraud is still a distinct possibility.
