Not one vote in Philly. Anybody buying this?

Philly is mostly democrat but it is kinda odd but. - backwards typist
[ In Reply To ..]In 2008, McCain got votes, so why wouldn't Romney this time?
President Obama's victory over Mitt Romney in last Tuesday's presidential election was driven, in part, by the president's strength in urban areas, where robust support cushioned the incumbent against electoral deficits in rural America. But almost a week after the election, it is now becoming clear just how lopsided President Obama's victory was in some cities: in dozens of urban precincts, Mitt Romney earned literally zero votes.
The Phildadelphia Inquirer reported today that, in 59 precincts in inner-city Philadelphia, the GOP nominee received not a single vote. And according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, nine precincts in Cleveland returned zero Romney votes.
At first blush, it seems almost impossible: how, even in some of the most heavily Democratic strongholds in the country, could a major party's presidential candidate fail to earn even one vote?
Incredulous Republicans might be tempted to indict voter fraud as a culprit - in reaction to the numbers, Steve Miskin, a spokesman for Republicans in Pennsylvania's state legislature touted the state's voter ID law, which did not apply to last Tuesday's election, and avowed a need to "continue ensuring the integrity of the ballot."
Not I. That's laughable. - lmn
[ In Reply To ..]Crooked ballot counting, though we could object until we're blue in the face and nothing will be done about it, based on history.
If that WAS the count, very strange. But 4 pages of googling so far - produces no credible sources. nm

That's a laugh. By incredible sources, I'm (sm) - LM
[ In Reply To ..]assuming you mean MSM? Guess you didn't get the memo. They no longer exist. You'd better take your news where you can get it, or you won't get any. Just the usual lies.
Misleading headline - Half true
[ In Reply To ..]59 of 1700 wards had no votes cast for Romney. Some of these wards have as few as 50 or so voters. Also, if you click on the interactive map, the results shows a comparison to 2008 and there were also only 0 to 1 to 2 votes for McCain then. Heavily democratic neighborhoods. No scary story. Too bad.
Didn't realize you'd already posted this info. - Like your post better than mine.
[ In Reply To ..]Especially the last two sentences. LOL.
Well, for starters, there are only 19 US Congressional "districts" - in Philly,
[ In Reply To ..]and 203 state congressional "districts," so I am presuming the article is referring to PRECINCT poll locations, the only sites that apply universally to a PRESIDENTIAL election. Philly has more than 1,687 voting "divisions" for that purpose, so it is entirely believable to me that of those, 59 failed to produce a single vote for Romney. The math tells us that barely represents 3% of Philly's total voter turn-out.
It would be helpful to have details about the precise poll locations to asses this further, since they are reflective of pockets of neighborhood ethnic, religious and economic class demographic dynamics. I know in my own precinct, it's likely Romney voters could only be measured in groups of 10s. Hundreds would be quite a stretch for our neighborhood.
NOT ONLY IN PHILLY. - OHIO TOO!
[ In Reply To ..]Then again, even Putin thought the election was rigged.

DNC Erects 4 Mile 8 Foot Tall Fence Around PhillyJul 25, 2016
To the Democratic National Committee elites, keeping average Americans away from their convention is a good idea, while protecting the southern border from intruding terrorists, rapists and murderers is a bad one. The DNC has erected a four-mile fence around its convention site at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center. (Isn’t it ironic they’re doing so much to protect a site named after a bank?). The fence, which appears to be about 8 feet tall, is intended to keep out any individuals wi ...

Illegal Voters Uncovered In Philly Are "tip Of The Iceberg"Oct 05, 2016
registered voters in Philadelphia since 2013, and almost half even voted in at least one recent election, according to a legal group that sued to get voter registration records. Joseph Vanderhulst, an attorney with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, noted Philadelphia knows about those 86 illegal voters only because officials received specific requests — in almost every case from the voters themselves — to remove the names from the rolls. He said there is no way to know how many non-c ...

Regardless of whether or not you will vote for the office of president, there are other offices which need votes. There are issues of various types, local and state issues, that need a vote as well. In my state of Ohio, each local county PAYS for the cost in that county. Whether anybody shows up or not, the polls are still open, the poll workers still get paid. The polling machines are still rented. In short, there is a minimum cost to run the election. In my state, if there is not enough of ...
