In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions,
Mitt Romney got zero votes

Philadelphia Inquirer, by Miriam Hill*

Original Article

Posted By:Calvinesq, 11/12/2012 8:36:43 AM

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."

Reminds me of Saddam Hussein, who called an election shortly before the second iraq war, and won every vote.

Ah-hem!...Let´s correct this falsehood! "We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely RACIST AND ONLY VOTE FOR THEIR OWN KIND -N0 MATTER THEIR FAILURE,".
And now as they say down south - "that´s mo´ better".

Put an ad on tv in that area asking anyone who voted for Romney to contact the GOP to discuss their vote being suppressed/defrauded. If even one person responds, we know the truth.

You would think that an intelligant person fixing an election would make sure that there were enough votes for the opposing candidate to not cause suspision for an average persion viewing the results.

But, lets face it, they have gotten away with this type of utter and complete fraud for decades. They don´t even have to pretend. As long as those investigating are fellow Demon-RATS, they are safe as can be.

Let´s see how much discussion we hear about vote fraud on Rush, Hannity and Levin. Something tells me the word has gone out that vote fraud is this season´s birtherism - the truth that must not be named in respectable conservative circles. (Except for Lucianne.com, and she beats all of them.)

FTA: "In 2008, McCain got zero votes in 57 Philadelphia voting divisions. That was a big increase from 2004, when George W. Bush was blanked in just five divisions."

#2 is right on target. Such high numbers for O´Bama REEKS of voter fraud and is like the old USSR where 99% of the vote would go to the favored candidate.

Welcome to the New America.

Republicans need to stop playing the horse with blinders on who only see what is straight ahead. All around us the Dems are sucker punching us.

I´m mad at Republicans for being so naive. Republican s are to blame for this fiasco of a campaign. These guys need to be hung out to dry and new more ruthless campaigners brought in to match the ruthlessness of the Democrats.

This is easy to explain. The code in voting machines is set to flip say 1 in 100 votes to the favoured candidate. This ratio is picked to avoid raising suspicion. It is just that the programmer forgot to set a limit in areas where democrats dominate. The result is that every Romney vote gets flipped and the machine still has not met the quota. Now lets find out if there were this many districts with not a single vote for Obama and we will know who has been programming the voting machines!

I do not doubt that this could happen without any fraud at all.

Consider the makeup of these divisions. They are likely made up of the lower 1% in Romney´s admitted 47%. These are people who are latched on to the government teat 24/7.

What will be interesting will be seeing what happens when the Democrats try to nominate the next non-black candidate. If there is a black in the field of nominees then it could get interesting.

Now for a racist comment...

Some blacks are just far too ignorant (I did NOT say stupid) to ever get it. They have been programmed from day one and have lost the ability as a group to think at any level above how something might directly affect them in the very immediate future.

I still give every person I meet, regardless of race, a clean slate upon which to start a relationship. However, after 55 years of fair and unbiased observation (even extending the benefit of the doubt perhaps too far), I can now state with no pang of conscience that, as a group, today´s generation of blacks are hopelessly lost.

What is left out here is most miraculous part.
100% of the eligible voters voted.
When does that ever happen?
No voter fraud. Just one name on the ballot. So nobody needs to go to the polls. Just flip a lever on the machine, and all votes are tallied.
Remember: Saddam got 100%, too.

In a parallel universe, this would get some attention from the media. A professor of sociology could easily tell you that you could not get 100% of people to agree it´s raining or it´s sunny outside - let alone agree on who to vote for. This is out and out fraud and has been practiced by the Philly Democrat machine since well before the days of fast Eddie Rendell. In 2004 machines arrived with 20,000 to 30,000 votes for Kerry in the machines already.

It would be interesting to know how the counts turned out in these precincts when former NFL star Republican Lynn Swann was running for PA Governor against Ed Rendell. Philadelphia went massively for Rendell, the white guy in the contest, but if it was unanimous in these precincts for Rendell, that would be an assurance of Dem voter fraud.

Where is the ACLU, Liberty Legal, etc. ONE TV ad would probably turn up MANY voters in these districts that voted for Romney. To say that over 19K voters INTACT in 59 voting booths cast NOT ONE vote for Romney is incomprehensible. Bill Cunningham spoke about it Sunday night on his radio program.Why hasn´t the GOP requested that the voting machines be impounded ? This should have been done immediately. We vote in NY with a PAPER BALLOT which the machine turns into a computer count on a ´flash drive".I do not know the mechanics of other states, but wherever there is NO paper trail, the Federal Election Commission should not allow the votes to count. There is no way to verify the accuracy of the votes and no ability to recount. Lastly,only ONE person out of over 19 K has to come forward, CALL A NEWSPAPER, CALL A LAWYER, etc, or a conservative media outlet ought to put up billboards with numbers that can be contacted by whistleblowers . The election is NOT certified until the electoral college members meet. Why are we allowing elections counts to
be fraudulent ?

The answer is as simple as the KKK in the 1950´s: Rampant racism in black communities enforced thru propaganda and intimidation. But the intimidation is not by violence. It is by installing the fear you will not be accepted as part of the tribe. Same for Hispanics. The ones who cannot be fooled due to ignorance must be intimidated to conform.

Voter fraud did happen across the nation. No one needs to state the obvious. The question is what is to be done in the future to avoid a repeat.

All I saw were enthusiastic Romney crowds and a deflated BO electorate. Heck, even he knew he might lose. But the voting machines defaulted to BO. WE KNEW THIS ALREADY. And did nothing. The repubs did nothing.

No one did anything, just like they will do nothing when the brownshirts show up at the door collecting guns.

The real powers that be, not the voters, told Romney he was not going to be prez. That ´s what happened

The statist dem media bubbles, radical lefty/lib community activists and prejudiced special interest activists discourage common sense, not to mention American history´s lessons in freedom.

We know the Republican Congress is in a tizzy about the IRS looking into requests for IRS Tax exemptions for organizations named "Tea Party" and other conservative labels. They even had some hearings on them, attempting to tie the White House and President Obama to the scene. But as hard as they try, they simply cannot, since the White House had no knowledge of the incidents until told by the Inspector General. But wait. If President Obama, the White House and Democrats had nothing to do with something that seems so political, what about the Republicans?

A Common Pleas Court judge has blocked a religious group from holding loud, racially charged demonstrations in front of the entrance to One Liberty Place at 16th and Chestnut Streets. Judge Ellen Ceisler, in a ruling issued Thursday, barred gatherings by a group that the owners of One Liberty Place said spewed hatred toward whites, women, and gays. They said the demonstrations disrupted the peace, disturbed passersby, and interferred with business at nearby shops. The group, which calls itself the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, gathered weekly, bullhorns in hand, and chanted offensive rants,

Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo, and Johnny Walker are in the pokey. State investigators confiscated 1,000 open bottles from 29 bars and restaurants across the state to see whether the contents were premium brands or substituted cheap booze - or worse - and being sold as the good stuff. On Thursday, state officials released new details of a yearlong investigation, "Operation Swill," that found rubbing alcohol, dirty water, and food coloring in a few cocktails sold as premium drinks. "This alleged scheme is a dishonest ruse to increase profits, and it is a slap in the face to the consumer,"

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest?

His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded."

It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
