Obama robbed of votes in New York
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02162008/news/regionalnews/obama_robbed_in_ny_97932.htm

<snip>
Barack Obama's primary-night results were strikingly under recorded in several congressional districts around the city - in some cases leaving him with zero votes when, in fact, he had pulled in hundreds, the Board of Elections said today

Unofficial primary results gave Obama no votes in nearly 80 districts, including Harlem's 94th and other historically black areas - but many of those initial tallies proved to be wildly off the mark, the Board of Elections confirmed.

Truth is, in some districts getting a recount, the senator from Illinois is even close to defeating Hillary Clinton.

Initial results in the 94th District, for example, showed a 141-0 sweep for the New York senator, but Board of Elections spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez said today that the ongoing recount had changed the tally to 261-136.

2. Somehow, I'm not surprised by this response
Fight for all those votes in Michigan & Florida, where the two states were warned ahead of time of the consequences for breaking the rules. Fight for those Michigan votes, where Hillary was the only major candidate on the ballot.

But don't fight for any of Obama's votes, right? I mean, surely you would expect to see multiple precincts where Obama would not receive a single vote, right?

3. Obamaganda?
did you think that one up all by yourself??
The article has been posted and if I recall their were errors on the other side as well.
I assume once the votes are completely recounted a few delegate changes will happen.

7. Actually, in a few districts...
Hillary showed a zero, too. They're recounting and we'll see the accurate total soon. Slurs are not required here.

4. Read the whole article. Hillary was also robbed! NY straightened
out the whole mess before it became a real problem. Sorry, no tears for obambi regarding a simple mistake that happened to both candidates. The mistake was caught and fixed, so why are you trying to cry obambi tears?

10. That's the most pathetic comment today.

And that's hard to do.

Since when do Democrats not want to count the votes? You Clinton loons have lost it.

6. Obama and Clinton both got 0 votes in some districts
Yesterday there were several discussions about this and they pretty well covered the bases. There is no fraud. The recounts are ongoing. This is the same way it happens every election, presidential or no.

Think about it - Everybody in America knows that Harlem is black. If Obama actually did get 0 votes there it would draw news people from around the world but there isn't a murmur. They understand there isn't any problem. Everybody wants a scoop but there isn't any scoop here today.

Look around for the discussions of yesterday. The explanation is there.

8. It's really getting sickening that when HE doesn't win
everything is crooked, corrupt, he was robbed blah blah blah blah. WHAT A DAMN SORE LOSER. We still have the law suit going about Iowa. It wouldn't change the votes we know, but it will bring all the people who voted illegally up on charges. We have the names of about 3000 people we want to check, we are not going to Illinois to see if the voted there. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE CHARGES ARE GOING TO BE FILED. The won't get out of it like coulter did.

9. what's really sickening...
is that our voting systems are so insecure that no election results are trustworthy. Rush Holt introduced legislation that would allow states to adopt paper records for DRE's and standard audits in time for the November elections on the Fed's dime, but no one cares. Funny isn't it? There are so many methods being used to suppress the vote, but no one cares as long as the right candidate wins. So much divisive talk, and so little action. There is no 'we' in this country any more. It's us vs them. The us and the them changing at the drop of a dime. Why do so many people need someone to hate?

11. Bottom Line: He will be picking up more delegates - regardless of stealing/fraud allegations
