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.

    Nov 14 2012: Hello Robert,
    I do not find it surprising that in certain areas Romney did not get votes. If voting results seem to be altered (that does not seem to be the case), there would be a valid reason for re-count, otherwise, it is a waste of money in my humble opinion.

    I do not agree that your concern is about procedures/irregularities rather than parties. I believe it is very much about parties, and this discussion seems to be another one started because of your displeasure with the election results.

    Things are changing Robert...thankfully....and we are witnessing the changes in many different parts of our country. Several states that previously were republican dominated, changed in this election. We are seeing more states becoming "purple", rather than red or blue. The state I live in, was always "republican" until the 1960s, when more people started evaluating the republican party and what it was beginning to stand for. I personally, used to lean more toward republican, although I always voted for the person rather than a party. I ran for the state legislature on the republican ticket years ago, and it was seeing the party from the inside, that TOTALLY changed my out look.

    Obama clearly supports women's rights and minority rights, and statistics show that Romney lost the election partly because he does not support the rights of all people, and lost a lot of minority and women's votes. If one is not "stuck" with a certain party, Obama's re-election is not a mystery at all. Again Robert, our world is changing, and if one is not part of the solution, one is part of the problem. People in our world are realizing this, and I am excited about the changes:>)
