Now what? Hopefully this will draw attention to improve the voting system, somehow.

It's even more delusional to think there's no difference. Would Gore have invaded Iraq?
Yes! AND Carbon taxed us into oblivion.

Is there any actual proof of this fraud? I'm guessing not.

I think a more fair title would be, "Republicans love to cheat to win". Look at the fact, this is a pretty one-sided phenomena. From Robocalls to voter suppression to ""negro baby" leaflets, and on and on....
Not that Dems don't occasionally engage in these tactics, but not at anywhere near the frequency.
The funny thing is, Paul stands by these results. And most of you Repubs will, even knowing this stuff, still vote for the GOP candidate.
Funny stuff.
Oh how mistaken you are.
Democrats are well known for rigging elections and "robo-calls"....also!
Read this article about your "saint" Democrats
Why even make this a right/left issue?
Clearly it goes well beyond the scope of voter fraud or right/left.
It is an issues where our elected officials are not doing their jobs.
An issue where votes are not fairly counted or called for.
Either side.
There is a huge conspiracy here, and it's NOT "Republicans cheat! Democrats are fair!"
Both sides are equally appalling, with money running their decisive voting calls.
It is the fact that a group of people want to control the election process.
In order to get their "guy" in the office.
Why am I the only one that sees this?

My guess is that the ability to electronically flip the vote is widespread and pervasive -- NO voting machines are safe and they were put in place for the express purpose of rigging the vote. While punch cards are often manipulated by sending the cards to a different voting zone (some design these so candidate A and B are switched at another pole center, so that if you send punch cards from area 1 to area 2, they are correctly tabulated but with the opposite candidate).
We have to bring back hand-checked voting and random pole surveys (which were within less than 1% of the actual vote for the history of their use, right up until the shenanigans of Bush's election in 2000 -- then they were banned). Canada does this -- they have three witnesses for every ballot that gets registered as a valid vote.
There was no cost savings from the electronic voting machines (in most cases, they cost 10x what our previous punch card system cost) -- it was all a huge lie. Like the Patriot Act being written before the attacks, it was a solution in search of a problem.
>> If you want to protest -- rip out those damn black box voting machines. There has been election fraud in the past -- but the electronic age has made it easier and harder to prove. You shouldn't HAVE to trust the corrupt election system because there is too much at stake.
