At first glance this might look suspicious, but when you consider that McCain got zero votes in 57 Philly precincts and that Romeny also got shut out in large urban precincts in Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas and Littel Rock and that Obama got shut out in precincts in Utah, Oklahoma, and Mississippi...it doesn't suggest fraud as much as deep deep polarization
I find the assumption that all African Americans would vote the same way somewhat racist. Haven't you ever heard of the "spite vote"? Some people may have a conflict with a neighbor and and if a situation arises where they can do the opposite of what that neighbor is going to do, they do it.
So have you done any research to see if there were any precincts in the country where President Obama got zero. Did you check on the demographics. If you have done neither, then I must ask why not?
The whole premise of your article is race-slanted, Jake. Why is it "news" that 59 precincts in African American communities in Philadelphia voted 100% for Obama/Biden when it's NOT news that hundreds or perhaps even thousands of precincts in predominantly white areas across the country voted 100% for Romney/Ryan? Black folks voting for a black candidate is (boogida boogida!) "racist," but white folks voting for a white candidate ISN'T? That's pretty ridiculous, isn't it?
Marychgo, The liberal media has been scouring the country trying to find ONE precinct that voted 100% for Romeny....guess what THAT CAN NOT FIND ONE!...... let alone thousands as you suggest. The closest one was a Texas preciinct that has a couple of hundred people. GET A CLUE! White vote split nearly every where in the US....get some facts and quit playing this race crap!
When you have an administration whose main mission was to explode welfare rolls, advertise and expand food stamps by the millions, and gave away cell phones candy, I would expect such a result, although 100% is far fetched, especially when some counties have more votes tallied than voters registered. All these serfs have expedited a meltdown in our country and are too ignorant to know it.
Name one county that had more votes tallied than voters registered. Hint: Wood County, Ohio...St Lucie County Florida and any county in Colorado...although all popular choices by the right-wing do not count as demonstrated here....http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-did-not-win-because-of-widespread-voter-fraud
The best explanation is the incident where Romney was taped saying that he did not care about the 47% of Americans. It was clear that he was talking about these urban voters. They remembered the incident when they voted. I did.
Amazing that in some precincts that zero people voted for Romney? This is statistically impossible. The Chicago voting machine has been duplicated and perfected. It's no wonder that the dems don't want to disenfranchise these voters that have no idea what they are voting on.
If there were precincts that were 100% Romney, I assure you the press would be shouting voter fraud.
I guess you didn't bother to read the article. In one of the precincts cited, there were but 12 registered Republicans, NONE of which voted for Romney.
Take your conspiracy theories over to FOX. You will find a more sympathetic audience there.
Its not really statistically impossible. In areas of African-American concentration (nationally blacks voted about 94-6 for Obama, but in urban areas it was closer to 96-4 and in urban poor areas 98-2) in a pool of say 50,000 voters spread across hundreds of precincts, the odds that a few precincts will go 100-0 or 99-1 are not outside the realm of statistcial probability. Romney got zero votes in 22 precincts in Dallas, Texas even...http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-did-not-win-because-of-widespread-voter-fraud
I've already asked CBS on another thread to let us know how many precincts in, for example, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Alabama, West Virginia, etc. cast 100% of THEIR votes for Romney/Ryan. I'm not holding my breath!
I'm sure there's some in RURAL areas, but this article is about URBAN areas in particular, because THAT'S where the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS live. All the states you mention above are sparsely populated and predominantly rural, with few LARGE urban areas (Exception: Salt Lake City).
Yes the story is about Urban areas but, wouldn't telling us about the 100% Romney areas prove that this statistical impossability was indeed possible. I am not trying to be one sided here but it seems to me that if a canidate gets all the votes in an area that he should get 98% of the votes in, I am wondering where the other 2% are. Then we also have area of the country that reported over 100% voter turn out, how is that possible? Have we been lied to and if so, by who is what we should be asking here.
You're making a distinction without a difference, SignSeeker. Obama carried virtually ALL the cities -- and won convincing majorities among city-dwellers of ALL races. Reporting on black precincts that went 100% Obama -- and choosing NOT to report on white areas (urban or rural) that went 100% Romney -- is a race-slanted way of reporting the vote. ("Let's get hysterical about how racist those black folks in Philly were, and ignore the fact that there were dozens or hundreds of places around the country where 100% of white voters voted for Romney/Ryan.")
And apparently, TomCole, you (and a lot of other posters here) are not aware that a number of states allow a voter to register AND vote on Election Day (or during early voting). THAT's how you end up with more voters than registrants. It's perfectly LEGAL, and does NOT constitute vote fraud!
You do know there were other candidates in the race. Gary Johnson,Jill Stein, Virgil Goode, and a few others. That cold easily be where those other 2% are.
This hasn't been researched very closely, but there are precincts that went 100% for Romney in Louisiana, Utah, Oklahoma and Mississippi at the very least. These precincts aren't as large as the ones in question in Philadelphia but some of them had more than three dozen voters who went unanimously for Mittens...http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-did-not-win-because-of-widespread-voter-fraud

And wait, are you accusing people of being ignorant voters or that their Romney votes weren't counted? Which is it?
