I find this a little odd

The election is over, but I still find this kind of odd.

And this one.

Oklahoma is one of the redest of the red states but I wouldn't even expect the reverse to be true here.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this for any candidate.

Yes it is, isn't it.

Maybe they didn't want to vote for the lesser of two evils and just didn't vote for president at all.

There is also checking going because it seems in some of those districts there were more votes then voters, again.

It matters not that you vote, but who counts the votes. Or controls the software.

that makes sense.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this for any candidate.

From the article:

This result isn’t the first time that the Democrat candidate has won so overwhelmingly in a Philadelphia precinct. George W. Bush came out with no votes in five divisions in 2004, and in 2008, McCain didn’t get a single vote in 57 divisions.


I'm not surprised... Saddened by the direction our country has taken, but not surprised.

Electoral college needs to be abolished, voting needs to be standardized so everyone is using the same machine in every state. Everyone's vote would count.

I don't mind the electoral college, I just think the votes should be apportioned in every state according to the popular vote. I think it's the same number of electoral college votes as house seats isn't it? Apportion them according to the house districts. Not necessarily who they voted for for a Representative, but 1 delegate per district.

I wonder who buys the voting machines, the feds or the state?

Or maybe we could decide it with a cage match.

The localities buy the machines, not the state, and not the fed.

I'm not at all surprised by the Ohio results. That part of the state has been and always will be heavily Democratic.

And the Ohio machines were supplied by a company connected to Romney. A few days before the election, new, uncertified software was installed on some machines. By the Republican Secretary of State.
