In 59 Philadelphia voting wards, Mitt Romney got zero votes
It's one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.
These are the kind of numbers that send Republicans into paroxysms of voter-fraud angst, but such results may not be so startling after all.
"We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic," said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. "It's kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia."

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that that is an impossibility.

4. The question is: Which party owns the polling process in PA? Start there. I dunno.

15. Wasn't it reported that Rmoney was getting less than 1% of the AA vote?

I'm sure these were black wards, but it's still hard to believe, not one vote? I know it's possible, but is it believable? Maybe these kinds of stories will change Republican's minds about having standard voting nationwide.
Less that 1% would have generated a vote somewhere. Romney got zero percent.

20. So...does that mean that in 59 voting districts there's not one white person?

You know this ISN'T fraud because if it was they would have tossed in a few to throw off the scent.
The democrat party isn't that smart.

Hey, I'd love to have standardized voting nationwide, with photo ID (Free for the indigent nondrivers, I have no problem with that) and a national database to prevent double or more voting. I don't think it's the GOP that has been standing in the way of that one, though.

That just tells me that 59 districts in Philly are full of nothing but generation welfare bums who refuse to work and expect the tax payers to pay for all their stuff. It is already known throughout the state that Philly has the highest population of welfare bums ...

Maybe so. But zero votes?

I don't believe one welfare bummed lazy ass freak voted for Romney. They didn't want to lose all the free stuff the tax payers were giving them. You have to remember that when someone makes a career out of welfare, they don't want to lose that career.

Don't pass the smell test.
Maybe Philly needs to be moved to the left coast with the rest of the moochers in Kalifornia.

The DUmmies would be up in arms (or the best they could do without leaving their chair) if some districts in Waukesha county WI* had 100% of the vote for Romney.
*a red county that managed to carry Judge Prosser to victory in his state Supreme Court re-election bid. DUmmies are still stewing about that one. :tongue:

On election day the news reported that Republican observers at the polls were told to leave and it took a judge to order the Dems to allow them back in. So between that time they left the polls and got back in ,anything could have happened to votes if any for Romney.

And if this had happened in the opposite direction....... :overreaction:

Even if every single voter in that area supported Obama, it's difficult to believe at least one of them didn't mark their ballot wrong.
These are Democrats we're talking about, after all.

Exactly. As I said in a different thread, the Palm Beach ballot in 2000 was like passing the bar exam for most of them. Someone would've f'd up. Not one vote? That's fraud. Oh Mr. Holder, Mr Holder. Oh never mind
