NYT Advocates Voter Fraud
Clinton won IN by a much larger margin.
It is general knowledge that there was rampant voter fraud going on in the Gary area. Their reporting results extraordinarily late is aninstant tip-off.
Even worse: 11,000 absentee votes is unprecedented for that area. Even 1,000 absentee votes in that area would rouse suspicion.
Yet the NYT is only too happy to ignore this, and reportthat the narrow win for Clinton in IN is reason for her
to get out of the race.
No longer the independent newspaper respected world-wide, the old grey lady has joined the bandwagon, behind their buddy, MSNBC, CNN and the rest of MSM.
Deceiving their readers.Reporting advertising and propaganda as news. Looking the other way while the nation's laws are broken.
The way decent Europeans in another era, turned away while atrocities went on.

Given that most "extraordinarily late" results usually benefit Clinton, I assume that you think most fraud so far has benefited her as well?
Source? (I'm referring to the "would rouse suspicion" part of that quote.)
Also, keep in mind that pretty much everything about this election is unprecedented. A "black" man getting the Democratic nomination will be unprecedented. A woman coming in close behind will be unprecedented. The amount of funds raised through on-line efforts is unprecedented. The enormous GOTV efforts (from both campaigns) is unprecedented—and no doubt this has lead directly to the unprecedented number of absentee votes.
Your paranoia is showing (and exceedingly selective).

You are making statements that you cannot back up.
Like all Obama supporters, big on bluster, low on fact.

Did you just compare voting in Indiana to the Holocaust?
Oh. My.

The destruction of democracy because of media corruption
isn't an issue with you?
Maybe it will be, when Obama gets toasted in media flames.

True colors shine through, eh?

And, apparently, he has no shame about it, either. I wasn't sure that he actually was talking about the holocaust until his response above.
He's comparing his "general knowledge" that there was voter in Gary, Indiana with the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Wow.
(By "general knowledge", I can only assume that he means that all of the neurons in his gut are in agreement on this matter, since I'm not aware of any other such "knowledge".)

No, I'm pointing out that you've made statements you can't back up.
Be specific, if you can deal in something other than unfounded generalities—what statement of mine do you not believe?
(I really hope that you're being deliberately self-parodying, but I unfortunately doubt that this is the case. Also, lose the quotation marks in your name if you want people to be able to reply to you.)

You guess, huh?
Guess & blather.

I "guess" what? You need to speak in complete sentences and/or at least references words that I'm actually using.
If there's at least a glimmer of a real person in there, try to answer a question without a puzzling non sequitur.

I wondered if the quotes were the problem.
BTW, please consider the Sears building as my longest finger.

Well, I've always wondered what the true margin was in NY; there were at least several mostly black precincts that reported 0 votes for Obama!

My guess is that the 11,000 figure also includes "absentee-in-person" voters (IN's name for early voters) who didn't want to wait in line for hours on election day. Statewide, there were close to 90,000 early voters in Indiana this election by the cutoff of the day prior to the polls opening. Which was about 80% more than 4 years ago. NOTE: unlike some states, these early voters have to appear in person to cast their votes.

Lake County has a known history of fraud, especially with absentee ballots; all you have to do is google it.
In a 2003 election, for example, criminal investigations resulted in forty convictions of voter fraud by a state grand jury.
p.s. if the Lake County delay in counting the votes in this primary had been an HRC-friendly county, just imagine the uproar and the MSM banner headlines. Double Standard Press continues.

Me personally I think they were thinking they had the votes to embarrass Clinton so they were waiting until after her victory speach hoping that after they reported it would tip to Obama.
Otherwise why wouldn't they report enough to give the state to him if it were fraud?
