Welcome to One-Party America. Apart from the news that Petraeus is conveniently no longer available to discuss before congressional closed committees what happened on the administration side of Benghazi, here's a story that the MSM will quietly bury: St. Lucie County in Florida had a 141% turnout on election night. President Obama also managed to win 99% of the votes, according to the numbers, in various districts in Broward County.
The sheer number of voters shocked the Supervisor of Elections there, though in this piece she's not asked to comment on the amazingly lopsided voting percentages in some of the districts. It's really quite impossible that any candidate, much less one with approval numbers the likes of those enjoyed by Obama, should prevail so hyperwhelmingly. I expect that Nate Silver won't be calculating the likelihoods, but if there were statisticians willing to address the matter, I think we would find that the numbers are far outside the realm of reasonable probability.
The infinitessimal statistical probabilities materialized in Broward County, FL, were not limited to that county. In polling locations in Philadelphia where Republican observers were thrown out, Mr. Obama received once again over 99% of the votes cast. In Cleveland, he received 99.8% of the votes in 44 districts, and he benefitted from 108% turnout from eligible voters in one county in Ohio.
It takes a special kind of person not to see how such amazing, astounding, mind-bending statistical anomalies could crop up in so many precincts all in one election. Let us call that person a Progressive. Luckily, for Team Obama, there are enough of these Progressives in the MSM that this sort of statistical special pleading will not go anywhere. If I had to guess, I'd say the odds of such a combination of . . . dare I say "miracles"? . . . is greater even than one in 16 trillion.
What that in turn means is that we live in a One-Party State. You'd think that the Watchdogs of Liberty in the press would find that disquieting, but they don't.
The evidence of widespread fraud goes far beyond the odds in your typical DNA match with a suspect in a murder case, but the DA won't bring this matter to trial. Our democracy has been murdered, but nobody will bring charges, because that would be raaaaacist apocalyptic.
What could go wrong? All of these unprecedented results are merely evidence of the repudiation of the Republican Party. They need to go soul-search, and sign on to global warming, which is a vehicle for instituting a UN-sponsored world government of unelected bureaucrats who believe the right things, despite any evidence (such as the cessation of global warming many years ago).
Mind you, I've not been a big fan of the Republican Party establishment for a long, long time, but all of the talk of a possible Romney victory did have the one benefit of causing the Democrat machine operators to panic and overplay their hand in a way that nobody who is not hopelessly blinkered can't register. The question now is, will it matter?
Screw Petraeus. Our elections are now being stolen in plain sight. Obama has had to destroy this Republic to "build" it.
Thanks also to Nathan Martin, who has ideas on how to secure the ballot. My idea is that we need forensic statisticians testifying before an Oversight panel on C-SPAN as a first step.
UPDATE: Is the apparent Port St. Lucie overcount due to two cards having been used during voting? That's the contention at The Shark Tank, but it doesn't explain the shock of the Supervisor of Elections or the precincts in which Obama overshadowed Romney 500:1.

UPDATEx2: Via Rusty Shackleford, the news from Philly on the election numbers.
Even assuming an almost 7:1 ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans in Philly, some of the numbers are simply incredible. Here, Dem flaks cite "discipline," and one of them goes so far as to state:
"If they believe there was a corruption of the process, then go to court and challenge it. Show the people of Pennsylvania," Hughes said. "Beyond that, shut up."
That's nice, considering the way Republican poll watchers were thrown out and had to be reintroduced by judicial intervention. Let's have a probabilistic assessment. You can't laud the use of statistical sampling only when it is utilized for the ends of your partisans.

No…not one iota will this matter to those with any amount of political power. We learned one thing from the Clinton years that makes all this denial possible, indeed necessary:
Anyone who is anyone on The Hill is utterly intertwined with everyone else. Each knows the others secrets, and General Petraeus is a very important reminder of those intimate criminal relationships. Was Petraeus offered as the sacrificial bull to keep everyone in line, or to deflect Obama's direct culpability with regard to Benghazi? Doesn't really matter, for it has conveniently become both.
The only person with any semi-chaste standing in this fight is Romney himself, but will he do anything about it? Doesn't look like it, and most likely because of dirty tricks on the campaign trail. Thus, and for the next four years, America is good and truly hosed. The question we really should be asking at this juncture is if there will be an America at the end of those four years. I have serious doubts.

This must be why the last Census was run by the White House.
It lay the groundwork for his win. The other half of the coin is Axlerod’s investment before the election in SCYTL and its affiliate SOE, software providers of election management “solutions”. It paid off.
There’s a Despot in the White House, treachery is in the air, we have become subjects and the chattering class simply has something new to talk about.

Beyond that, shut up.
That's my favorite takeaway from that philly.com story. Over and over and over again I keep seeing "We won, STFU," when the Leftists sense even a whiff of criticism. It goes nicely with the, "Don't argue with me when I leave a big steaming pile in your comments section because you had it coming after daring to talk about the possibility of your guy winning," attitude.
It's like 2008 all over again, only worse. Of course, I believe that the worm always turns and those choosing to be dickheads in victory might want to keep that in mind. I know that I'm going to remember how they chose to behave in the last two presidential elections when it does.

"St. Lucie County in Florida had a 141% turnout on election night."
McCain of course doesn't support his claim but links to yet another paranoid blog. No surprise as a quick search for "St. Lucie voter fraud" finds this claim endlessly repeated by the usual suspects. Although they endlessly claim MASSIVE FRAUD, they obviously didn't look at the actual voting numbers from St. Lucie. So here it is:
http://www.slcelections.com/Pdf%20Doc...
Sure enough, the number of cards counted equals 141% of the registered voters in St. Lucie County.
ZOMG, THIS IS THE PROOF.
Except it isn't.
If you look carefully, the number stated is CARDS CAST not VOTES CAST. The ballot in Florida contained (dramatic pause) two pages this year. This meant that for each ballot two cards had to be counted. If you scroll past the first page (I'll wait….) you find that the correct figures for votes cast (turnout at 70.5%) are listed over and over and over again throughout the 170 page document.
You shouldn't trust bloggers too lazy to research claims before they post them. With 2 minutes I was able to debunk this claim; these web sites could have and should have done the same.
These claims are not helping anything. We lost, let's figure out what we need to do and move forward. Not circlejerk over made up, idiotic conspiracy theories that even Fox News won't entertain.
