Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney

by drew on November 7, 2012 · 50 comments

WASHINGTON, DC – Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor Mitt Romney.

Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.

“I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo,” Davis told investigators earlier today. “He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didn’t hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didn’t dig those ones back out.”

      the Military Vote Count for President would not matter.

      Electoral College
      NY Times opines, “The Electoral College got a brief spate of attention in 2000, when George Bush became president even though he lost the popular vote to Al Gore by more than 500,000 votes.

      The Continuing Importance of Protecting the Electoral College (Top)

      We oppose the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact or any other scheme to abolish or distort the procedures of the Electoral College. We recognize that an unconstitutional effort to impose “national popular vote” would be a mortal threat to our federal system and a guarantee of corruption as every ballot box in every state would become a chance to steal the presidency.

      Ya, dip! This piece is a humorous satire. Sheesh…..can rightwingers IQs get any lower?

      • Void

        lol, the link in the article for Mitt Romney.

        http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/10/romney-surges-in-polls-following-promise-to-personally-pay-entire-defense-budget/

        The Duffel Blog was informed by Romney campaign staffers that the candidate first got the idea while rifling through his pockets for spare change, and accidentally discovered enough loose cash to fund the Coast Guard.

      • Pateriot

        You just re-elected a Marxist to the highest office in the nation. And our IQs are low?

        • Godless Raven

          I’m assuming you mean a Groucho Marxist, or you have no idea what a true Marxist is.

          Look, I know it’s tough to accept that poor children may have a free breakfast here and there and that seniors will have more affordable healthcare. I realize that it’s difficult to accept that we might have technological jobs and focus on the future, which is a far cry from the part time and casual minimum wage jobs that GWB was creating while simultaneously gutting the middle class, but I’m sure you’ll learn to accept it in time. :lol:

          MARXISM: : the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marx; especially : a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society.

          Yep, sounds like President Barry is a Marxist after all.

      • Goldbug36

        Yeah, GOPer’s IQs are almost as low as the morons who voted for Dumbozo.

      • cowboy454

        It probably could, but not as low as the leftist democrapic idiots who voted a Muslim Socialist Islamic dipwad back into the white house..you just lost all your freedoms and rights as an American citizen…Now who is more lower and stupid…LOL….You will see for yourself what mistake you made when Obama puts the screws to you guys too..it will happen sooner than you think….

          The obummer supporters will have to work for their food pretty soon. love the attention and celebration that comes with being a high school drop out? no marketable skills? the new government will send their many children off to labor for the government coffers. they’ll live in a factory, eat watery soup, and sleep on a cot. there’ll be many tearful nights to regret pulling the lever for a lie. but at least they’ll still have hope and change to believe in.

    • Anara

      This is a spoof meant to be humor not factual .Mr Rolls why are you attemping to decieve people
      The President won popular vote and electoral votes get over it and live with it and stop your BS
      Ill tell ya this my son is a soldier and has more friends and army contacts then he can count and they all respect the President for his guts and determination none of them accuse him of any wrongdoing . You need to take a break from fox news and Rush the maniac .Your party lost and we are moving foward period end of story.

      • Pateriot

        I have relatives in the Military who tell a very different story about the love and respect the military has for the current Commander and Chief!!!!

      • apache5

        well you are full of it ! i am deeply involved with the military and everyone and i MEAN everyone hates obamas guts and thinks he is a coward and are just waiting for the coup to throw him out!!!

        • Godless Raven

          No. Those would be the extreme right wing military. You don’t know the majority of the military, you may know a few, but based on your apparent ideology…is it a surprise that the people you’d associate with have similar views? The US military want to come home. They were sent in to an illegal invasion by a “War president” with inadequate body armor. With no mission or goal. And they were left to die or suffer from PTSD. Obama said he would end the war safely, both wars.

          You want to know who loves this man? Spouses and children and parents of brave soldiers, who have had to endure their loved one over deployed in one of the most dangerous places on earth for longer than WW2.

      • apache5

        i am on a military base with hundreds of soldiers and THEY all hate O’s guts and they say 90% of there friends hate his guts so your facts are full of the same BS that the MSM is trying to sell.
        go find some other place to spout your BS

    • TruthHurts

      and what do you think the military is going to do about it?

      NOTHING

      military people are just dogs of war that follow whatever unconstiutional orders they’re given.

      yeah, they should forcibly remove all masons, jesuits and knights of malta, and their sympathizers.

      but they wont. they will however, continue to help said criminals destroy america and build a NWO.

      thanks for nothing dogs of war!

    • Pateriot

      We don’t want to try to curb illegal votes by requiring ID at the polls, but the military… that’s another story. Do everything possible to block their votes!!!

      • Pateriot

        I don’t see the humor or satyr in the blog. Perhaps I am missing something.

    • Anonymous

      Military are just dumb animals.
      Good Ole Henry

      This “article” is from a satirical website. Here are a couple of other titles of “articles” from the source website “Grizzly Bear Wanders Into Unlocked Recruiting Office, Joins Navy” and “Confused WWII Veterans Demand to Know Why Rommell On Presidential Ballot”.

      It’s some pretty sloppy and irresponsible reporting to take something like that and run it like it’s a real news article.

      Mind you, it’s kind of hard to tell whether this website is satire or real too :)

      Why don’t you all just face it, Barack Obama was elected and re-elected because it turns out not everyone is easy enough to dupe in to voting against their own interests.

      In Romney you had a guy running on his ability to run business, but he wouldn’t disclose any of his business practices. That was off topic. No need to look in to that. Just trust him.

      he was running on his ability to bring jobs back to the US, but his claim to fame was outsourcing American companies to China and other places and laying off and closing down plants in the US.

      He was running on being able to adjust the tax code to be more “fair” but he would not disclose his taxes and he had businesses in the Cayman Islands and millions of dollars in Swiss Bank accounts.

      His strongest supporters were seniors…yet, they were part of the 47% he said were lazy and wanted to live off of the government and that he didn’t care about them. Military also fits in to that category.

      No worries, I hear the GOP will be running a Diebold voting machine with racist stickers on the side next election. There’s always next time! :grin:

      again – great job on the reporting for this article :mrgreen:

      • ebo

        I keep seeing this same comment ‘Face it’…. Why do I need to ‘face it’? There is nothing to face. It is what it is so why be smug and boastful? To start arguments?

        Obama is re-elected and I will certainly be praying for him to govern wisely and unify this county after all the devisiveness. And to say more people like Obama is just not true. How many didn’t vote at all because they didn’t like either candidate?

        Journalism has become laughable because you can’t believe a word they say anymore. It’s a sad state of affairs to say the least and to live in this generation is quite depressing.

      • anonymoustache

        Let’s talk again in four years.
        Personally,
        I don’t trust any of them-
        it’s a puppet show.

        I’m from Louisiana.
        When disaster struck they all came,
        blew smoke and went home.

        If Obama is your god I feel sorry for you…

        • Godless Raven

          My screen name is “Godless” implying I have no gods. Why do you feel the need to insert Obama as my “god”? I think he’s the most qualified man to run the United States government. I think he’s far more qualified and capable than anything the GOP has put up on a ticket since Eisenhower.

          If you don’t trust any of them, what would the point be of talking again in 4 years? Are you planning on seeing a doctor about paranoia?

          There’s no need to feel sorry for me, I’m doing just fine thanks. :mrgreen:

    • StavoV

      Of course those misplaced ballots would have swung the election in favor of Willwee Twit Womney…..of course they woud have. Except that 81% of the military overwhelmingl voted for President Obama……but never mind facts getting in the way.lol

    • Anonymous

      godless raven forgot to pull his head out of his delusional ass this morning like every other.

    • Kingkevin

      you said hundreds of thousands and it would have swung it in Romneys favor, except for Obama won by millions…so….I dunno. Math doesn’t lie. Don’t get me wrong, it’s messed up basically not to count their votes, but still wouldn’t have been enough to swing in Romneys favor. More votes, but not a win

    • Dawn

      Recall the election and count the military votes!!My gosh,
      they are in hell fighting for America that just doesn’t seem
      to matter any more. I say, get their votes and do a recount.
      We cannot stand 4 years of muslim take over. What a sham
      this Bummer is degrading our country. I say everyone guit
      their work for one month. Shut the country down, no givers
      and no takers. Lets see then how bummer works that out.

    • zeus

      allen west has demanded a recount of both the military and popular vote I do beleive! why has this not been followed up on. we know that the majority of men and women in uniform would have voted romney because of the military spending cuts and sequestering issues. mean while obummer is in asia again begging the chinese for anothe couple of loans. lets see what happens there.

      the new votecounts of delayed military ballots(by more than one day) and the militarys own beaurocracy in getting right paperwork for absentee ballots both here and in mideast-europe,is questionable at very least,and my feeling is that obamas people told military hierarchies to stiff the proper paperwork to these men and women that serve and die for whats left of our democracy. the media should be hung out to dry for not covering this story november 6th
      of course they SHOULD, but they WON’T, because papa the obumunist is controlling the media! i don’t think the Military votes were counted either, not at all! i had the exact same thought! the traitor in cheif cheated his way into four more years, but that’s NO surprise! NONE at all! if only the sheeple would wake up and see what’s REALLY going on in our beloved Country, they would be crying on their knees!

    • gataheart

      I say let’s march on DC and let obama know that ‘the Military vote WILL BE COUNTED’!! If necessary, go from door to door and have a face to face “recount” ..so tired of this “community organizer .. get out the vote and cheat, cheat, cheat ACORN manager cheating honest, hard working, honest voting Americans.

    • terry the censor

      Yes, this article is from a SATIRE site. John Rolls is simply too stupid to notice or too cynical to care.

      I’ve long said B4IN posters rarely read the articles they pilfer, they just care about cheap hits.
