Zero votes for Romney in many precincts

In 59 precincts in Philly and 9 precincts in Cleveland there was not a single vote for Romney.

In your opinion is that likely and should there be a audit of those votes to validate the results?

I have asked hard core dems and repubs about this and they find it hard to believe ...... what do you think.

This is not about parties but rather about voting procedures / irregularities.

    I think comparing it to previous election results may be more telling of the apparent phenomena.

    It would also be interesting to see how many precincts did not have a single vote for Obama.

      Nov 14 2012: Robert, In the 2008 elections for Cuyoga, OH I reviewed all precencts. Only precenct 0145 Brook Park 03 A recorded a zero. That percenct had 3 registered voters zero people voted.

      The makeup of percencts in OH are somewhat strange. The vote records are also strange as precencts with zero voters eligable had a few hundred vote.

      Anyway the district was 85% democratic and 15% republician. This seems consistant. We had a better balance than that in Arizona and the democrats sued for redistricting.

      If the Clevland and Philly areas are this much out of balance should it be redrawn? History does show that these areas are predominately democratic but not to this degree.

      I have no indicators that Obama recieved zero votes anywhere. But to be fair I will continue to look.

      Your argument was valid and appreciated. Bob.
