Virginia Attorney General Suggests Obama Stole The Election

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) told a radio host he completely agreed with her assertion that investigations are needed to determine why President Obama lost “every one” of the states with photo identification requirements for voting, yet won re-election. Cuccinelli, who has lost most of the major legal cases he has brought since taking office in 2010, told the host she was “preaching to the choir.”

On WMAL radio, hosts Brian Wilson and Cheri Jacobus pressed Cuccinelli about why he has not opened a major investigation into what they suggested was wide-spread voter fraud in Virginia — an assessment they made based on receiving unproven allegations by email from listeners. Studies have shown Americans are more likely to be struck by lightning than to commit voter fraud. Cuccinelli endorsed the idea of such investigations, but noted that he lacks the statutory authority to do launch an investigation.

Cuccinelli backed Jacobus on her conspiracy theories:

JACOBUS: There needs to be a way for people to be able to report this stuff and have it looked into. I mean, just across the country, we’re hearing so many stories. And people can talk about it, but nothing seems to be done. And, in fact in these states where voter ID is required to vote…

WILSON: Photo ID.

JACOBUS: Photo ID. Voter photo ID. Obama lost every one of those states. He can’t win a state where photo ID is required. So clearly there’s something going on out there and until there’s a way to have something done about it where when you report it, you know it’s going to be looked into, the other side just says “Oh, well, you’re just poor losers,” and that sort of thing.

CUCCINELLI: Your tone suggests you’re a little upset with me. You’re preaching to the choir. I’m with you completely.

I'm also amused at his aspirations to the governor's mansion -- This jaggoff truly is not from this planet...

1. "the other side just says “Oh, well, you’re just poor losers,”

Well, yes. But only because it's true.

5. This Dem sure as hell didn't...

But southerners as a whole love their "tough on crime" politicians...And sadly, for a multitude of reasons, a lot of Virginia Dems stayed home in '09, and he's practically Jesus to the fundie christian voters here....

3. that would seem verfiable

"President Obama lost “every one” of the states with photo identification requirements for voting"

Lets first see what states have Photo ID laws as of 2012

then we can see what states Obama won..




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012

States with Photo ID laws that obama won include:

Florida
Minnesota
Hawaii
and New Hampshire

On edit-Oh sorry Obama also won Pennsylvania, one of the "strict Photo requirement" states.

IF we include those states with some kind of ID law, the number just gets higher. The states with strict voter id laws were never likely to vote for Obama anyway.

So is it me or is this not even a good lie since it's so easily debunked?

6. They both know it's a lie

but they know their radio audience WANTS to believe that, and that's who they cater to...
