What Luck! Obama Won Dozens of Cleveland Districts with 100% of the Vote Home - by BigFurHat - November 9, 2012 - 15:59 America/New_York - 24 Comments Pundit Press President Obama must have run a great campaign considering the tremendous numbers he put up in numerous big cities. Over in Philadelphia, he was lucky enough to get 90% percent turnout in some districts with over 99% of the vote. In Cleveland, in some districts he did even better with an astounding 100% of the vote in dozens of locations. For example, in Cleveland’s Fifth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts E, F, and G 1,337 to Mitt Romney’s… 0. And in case you’re wondering, Gary Johnson received more votes than Mr. Romney. Well, maybe that’s just a fluke. In the Ninth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts D-G with a paltry total of 1,740 to… 3. Hey, at least Romney got .2% of the vote! In another Ohio county, Obama won with 108% voter registration! 1,337-0 Okay, what if we look at an entire Ward? No way this trend continues, right? An entire ward. Why not do the First Ward? Obama won that one 12,857 to… 94. This time Romney got .7% of the vote. He’s moving up in the world! In total, there are 21 districts in Cleveland where Mr. Romney received precisely 0 votes. In 23 districts, he received precisely 1 vote. And naturally, in one of the districts where Obama won 100% of the vote, there was 100% turnout. What a coincidence!
I'll trade you a few Cleveland districts for a few Miami-Dade precincts. Took me about 30 minutes to vote in a well staffed voting precinct out in a nice white GOP voting suburb here in Florida. At the same time in a Democratic voting area like Miami-Dade people had to stand in line for several hours and they still can't get the votes counted there.
Dave Let's count now, HOW many times has there been problems in the Miami Dade, Broward county areas during an election. Once, twice, three times.... Don't you even mention that this is because the democrats in that area have been somehow been given the shaft compared to other more RED areas in Florida. This area being mostly democratic should therefore be highly educated compared to the rest of Florida and on top of the food chain in thought, effort and the much desired "village" mentality. They are urbanized, suburbanized and much better off than their rural neanderthal cousins who oh my God...Believe in God of all things..Dirty peasants.. What they are doing in Southern Florida is an atrocity to every Floridian outside their county boundary's and a laughing stock of ignorance to the rest of the U.S. It took me 10 minutes at most in our one horse town where I voted side by side with Mexican Americans, Black Americans and every color in between. We smiled at one another, opened the door for each other and didn't really care what each other was voting for but we were doing OUR part as Americans in the voting process. And then some drove as far as 50 miles back to their occupation... The problem in S. Florida is not an issue of RED or BLUE it is arrogance, poor planning, and shitty preparation to the incredibly long piss poor ballot given from Tallahassee. In spite of this stupid long ballot every other county in the state got it done properly in "what" under the three to five days its taking the banana republic of the greater Miami area... What a Frikken joke they are down there...
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/heathe...assive_voter_fraud_in_st_lucie_county_florida Dave, can you explain this?
Ralph, You live here you know that the ballot was made up of amendments put there by the GOP state legislature and that Rick Scott used every trick he could muster to deter the Democrats from voting and I do actually wonder about the staffing at the southern Florida polling places. Where I am I saw just two blacks in the 30 minutes it took me to vote in a well organized.... well staffed precinct. The state of Florida should indeed be totally ashamed.......but with Rick Scott there is no shame. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/category/buzz-tags/constitutional-amendments "Other high-profile proposals that would have capped the growth of state revenue and give the Legislature greater control over Florida's court system also missed the mark Tuesday. Read more: http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/political/key-amendments-falling-short-in-early-returns#ixzz2BvZbWfpl "The Florida Legislature loaded up this year's historically long ballot with 11 lengthy and confusing constitutional amendments—only to see voters reject almost all of them." The power plays that Rick Scott have been making to gain control of this state is appalling. I predict they will all be out on their ear in their next elections. They have pissed a lot of Floridians off with all of their power grabbing shenanigans.
YOU WANT FRAUD???? Try this: http://www.bradenton.com/2012/11/11/4272475/florida-gops-overreach.html "The Republican-led Legislature packed the state ballot with outrageous constitutional amendments that largely failed, including one power play to control the courts that two-thirds of Florida voters rejected." 2/3 of the voters said enough is enough!!!!!
Gee there were a number of unions sponsored amendments to the Michigan Constitution on our ballot. They all failed by a huge margin. No one called them a fraud. Of course we actually know what fraud is.
It's OK that you cannot explain voter turnouts of 158% of eligible voters or Obama winning 100% of all votes in precincts across the nation, Dave. As you know, there is only one explanation. Fraud, on a national level coordinated by the democratic party. It was a trick question.
I agree that the heavy amendment ballot was ridiculous and knowing what we know about "all" political parties there seemed to be intent to either put voters to sleep in boredom while reading it or cause confusion. Either way it backfired on all counts from the non-approval of the amendments to another year of Florida voters not getting it done like the remainder of the U.S. My bitch is not toward the voters in the three counties that make up S. Florida but the officials in charge. How in the world can 64 of 67 counties get it right regardless of the lengthy ballot and these locations could not? I will bet my paycheck the funds invested in S. Florida to vote are probably double the funds spent per voter on the remainder of the state but they still did not get it done. And this is not the first time the "same" counties have had issues, it has been repeated now for three general elections. Please answer that for me... All is forgiven the first time, maybe the second time but not three times in a row. And now since we are bound to repeat our mistakes because we have no leadership in those areas it will happen again... It just gets old in a hurry and having family members who live and work in the area, I get to hear the continued disconnect of the people to the local government. And for the record these particular family members are pro union, Obama flag wavers and feel a real embarssment to be living in the area. On another note I am sending them anti-union Romney Xmas cards for the holidays...
So Ralph.... wouldn't you think that Rick Scott and his Supervisor of Elections could/should see this coming? I think the embarassment certainly falls on Tallahassee more than on the local officials down there. Maybe... just maybe Tallahassee didn't want to see those SE Fla polls run smoothly given their certain outcomes... :wink: And you agree those ballot amendments represented a preposterous power play. A power play attempt that was met with a resounding anti-GOP vote across the board.... and it possibly fostered an angry anti-GOP feeling that will carry over to elections in this state in the near future. But I think all of that goes back to the top.... to Rick Scott.... because Mr. Medicare Fraud has proven before that skirting the rules is how he operates.
- I think Scott hoped to push amendments through by overloading the ballot.. - I'll give some blame to Tallahassee but most on the banana republic of greater Miami, they still were not able to do what counties using flint and sticks were able to do and that was to get voters through the line and count the votes.. - Hey my cynical personality is alive and well and anything in politics and government is possible but I still hold that it was about an effort to push amendments through... - Not really sure if this is a blackeye on the GOP but for sure the state capitol and its leadership. I don't feel most people see this as a GOP conspiracy outside of true diehard democrats..People have short memories and will only remember long lines not the party in office at the time... - I don't see Rick winning another election in our state, his mantra was always a one term wonder until recently when he started looking at getting re-elected...
His financial advisor should disrecommend any additional investment of his personal fortune into getting re-elected such as the 50 mil he dropped the first time.... :wink: My interpretation of the Florida legislature is that it is GOP controlled and it gets it's cues from Rick Scott. These ballot amendments and especially the attempts at removing judges were very blatant unilateral GOP maneuvers that backfired. The voting public here in Florida showed that it does not appreciate dishonest, unethical politics and attempts by those in power to bamboozle the people with brazenly tilted agendas.
