With the nation sharply divided along ideological lines, the growing protest of President Obama's reelection is reaching a fever pitch among the nearly 50 percent who voted against him.
Only three million votes separated Obama and Romney out of 126 million votes cast.
Not only have some pundits declared that the president has "no mandate" to push through his agenda due to the razor-thin margin by which he won, but others believe that widespread voter fraud contributed to Obama's victory. Veteran's groups are protesting the president's reelection, with many flying the American flag upside down on Veterans Day -- the official signal of deep distress.
Average Americans appear ready to express their anger as well. The three major networks, which were shown during the campaign to be heavily biased in favor of Obama, have plummeted in the ratings since the election. And the biggest winner coming out of the 2012 presidential campaign appears to be Fox News, which for the first time in its history drew more viewers to its coverage of the vice presidential debate than the three major networks.
Numerous reports have surfaced since election day indicating blatant fraud in some of the districts and precincts that went for Obama and local Democratic candidates.
Some precincts have reported 20 percent more votes going for Obama than the number of people who live in the district, indicating massive voter fraud. Others report that Obama received all of the votes in the district, despite the fact that in no other election have their been no Republican votes cast in those districts.
According to the U.S. Code, an act of voter fraud is a felony that carries a prison term. Yet the current Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder has been steadfast in its refusal to prosecute such cases.
One of Holder's first acts as Attorney General in 2009 was to drop the government's case against members of the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia, who were shown on tape intimidating voters with clubs and billy sticks, which according to the U.S. Code is felony election tampering.
Conservatives believe that little or nothing will be done concerning the evidence of voter fraud due to the fact that the Justice Department will remain under the firm control of Barack Obama, and Democrats who retained control of the Senate have little interest or motivation to conduct investigations that could potentially place their Party in a negative light.
Questions and doubts, however, will persist unless something is done at the federal level to investigate these numerous reports of voter fraud and election tampering. The perception that the U.S. elections process has succumbed to corruption will only add fuel to the growing fire of rage on the part of nearly half of the population.
