No, there is no evidence of it. Some Republicans tried to say that voter fraud was the reason Obama won, but independent investigations did not find any proof. (The myth that ACORN "stole" the election was also debunked.) In fairness, when President Bush won in 2004, similar accusations of voter fraud were raised. The truth is that sometimes the candidate we have supported does not win, even if we think he (or she) should have won.

In the case of President Obama, the country had grown tired of Republican policies, and President Bush was very unpopular, even among many in his own party by the time the 2008 election came along. John McCain, while a decorated war hero, did not run an effective campaign, while Obama did. The fact that Obama won is not because he cheated: it was the right time and the right campaign and America was ready for a change. However, in the 2012 election, whoever wins, the losing side will undoubtedly claim that cheating occurred.
