Why were there no allegations of voter fraud in the last election?

With the number of elections, and how close they were, isn't it amazing that not one Republican called for a recount, and held his state or district hostage? So, it's only voter fraud when a Republican wins a close race?

    The truth has been spoken here tonight by you, my friend. Indeed, had the Republicans won we would hear nothing but outcries about the Diebold machines and the like. Seems Reps can handle defeat in a respectful way, but when Dems lose its lawsuits and conspiracy theories galore! What a world

    I wonder about the VA Senate race. Allen was only 9000 votes behind out of 2.3 million! and didn't ask for a recount. There were preliminary reports of black voters who said they received threatening calls at home the day before the election, and in another part of the state, they ran out of ballots. The irregularities were never investigated because Allen conceded.

    There are 5 or 6 seats which are still being contested for the House. One is in Kathleen Harris's old district in Florida, and the Republican leads there by 375 votes.

    Because the Dems won. It would have been the other way around if they lost the election. The Republicans don't care because they know that it's a trap for the Dems. None of those promises will ever happen and 2008 is approaching fast.

    Actually in Virginia some Webb supporters tried to make it look like George Allens campaign was threatening voters, but they were caught. Many Liberals were claiming the Republicans had committed voter fraud. But without an ounce of proof.

    There is some evidence of dirty tricks by Republicans in several races that they lost anyway. For them to challenge the results would require more scrutiny, and could indeed show that the R candidate lost by an even wider margin.

    In other words, IT'S POSSIBLE TO CHEAT AND STILL LOSE.

    Personally, I don't like it. Voter fraud should be investigated regardless of the outcome ... even if the cheating had not effect at all, the perpetrators need to see some jail time.

    It extremely makes me mad, that the ACORN workplace replaced into found to have fraudulent voter registration card with the starting up line up of my loved Dallas Cowboys. Obama honestly can not income from this even as that is turning out to be so sparkling this fraud comes from agencies that decrease back him

    Because the Democrats were winners this time around. If they hadn't been, I'm sure we would still be waiting for recounts and court decisions. To Moose. If you think Diebold rigged past elections to favor the Republicans, why are the Democrats in control of the House and Senate now?

    it is voter fraud when the republicans win an election becuase democrats are little crybabies and cant take a loss in the congress... dems are always making up excuses like a few years ago when they said "old ladies are being pushed down in the line and cant vote, the blacks vote wasnt counted, and immigrants should be able to vote" REPUBLICANS RULE and democrats suck and ruin this country

    If the Dems lose, it must be fraud, just ask one.

    If the Republicans lose, they take it like men.

    Look at the Liberal agenda, makes no sense why anyone would vote for them.

    I don't think the Republicans wanted the elections examined too closely or we would have found that many of the close elections they lost by a hair would have been lost by a lot more.
