‘Unskewed Polls’ Founder: ‘I Was Only Wrong’ Because I Didn’t Consider Voter Fraud

[Capt. Obvious]

The conservative activist who gained a following during last year's campaign for his efforts to "unskew" polls has a theory on why his predictions for the election were so wildly off the mark, writing late last month that his analysis was incomplete because he did not consider the purported voter fraud and voter suppression efforts that he claimed were integral to President Barack Obama's victory.

Dean Chambers, the founder of UnSkewedPolls.com, wrote in a piece on Examiner.com that the "Obama Regime definitely won the election" by suppressing votes from would-be supporters of Mitt Romney and committing "massive voter fraud in the key swing states" – although he offered no evidence for either claim.

"I was only wrong in those projections because I was not aware nor did I calculate in the voter fraud and the voter suppression, both of which exceeded the margin by which Barack Obama was declared the winner of that election last Fall," Chambers wrote.

It wasn't the first time Chambers floated such a theory. Shortly after last year's election, he launched a new website — BarackOFraudo.com — in which he alleged that the President did not legitimately carry Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. That website included a map (shown below) with the disputed states colored black.

3. Or the hurricane

It's never because their candidate sucked and people who were told they weren't wanted at the polls via voter suppression legislation stood in line for hours because they would not be denied.

I doubt this clown can site a case of voter fraud if his life depended on it.

8. This sort of thing could help them in the future.

They tried to suppress votes in 2012. After the election, several states began trying to set up ways to more easily suppress votes in coming elections. We haven't heard much about that recently, but I suspect they'll come back to it eventually, if it doesn't continue now, with less public attention. They've tried this before and they will try it again. By blaming our side for the same sort of behavior, they confuse that issue if and when it comes up again. They trivialize it, make it ridiculous, help set up future iterations of the "both sides do it" argument. The matter becomes harder to discuss seriously if it becomes an important issue in the future.
