I agree with you, however there is more to it then just that.
Obama won in every state that DID NOT require a Photo ID and lost in every state that DID require a Photo ID in order to vote.

For starters, here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.
· In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (a mathematical and statistical impossibility – see below) · In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations – and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (a statistical impossibility – see below) · In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voters were registered to vote in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters. · In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes cast. · The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in St. Lucie County, FL had a 158% voter turnout – the highest voter overage in entire the country – second was Palm Beach County, FL with a 141% voter turnout overage. · In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
I am not a CPA but even I can tell the numbers just don’t add up!
“…he ran many targeted campaigns aimed at specific … groups, scaring them into believing [they] would take away their rights and promising them favorable legislation on their issues…”-This isn’t anything new, it’s what politicians do. Of ALL stripes. I hope you aren’t naive enough to not realize that the politics of fear, coupled with the promise of protection/targeted goals, is something new. I also hope that you aren’t being so condescending that you think people reading this will think it’s exclusive to Obama/Democrats.

Republican lies are the basis for “statistics” cited on many, if not most, “right-wing” sites, and of course Faux News reports, and Limbaugh’s tirades. It isn’t so much a mirror, as the portrait of Dorian Gray, updated.
How did Dubya win in 2004? He didn’t do it by being an effective leader, and had no usable record to be proud of. He and his buds denigrated John Kerry.
I didn’t hear about special legislation for specific racial groups. Mind sharing a source for same?
I think the thing with women had more to do with Republican-backed forced transvaginal ultrasounds and their total cluelessness when it comes to the fact that rape is a crime of violence and violence and not sex.

Republicans should keep chanting that “free stuff” mantra until they are totally irrelevant , It shouldn’t take but one or two more election cycles
