I'm sorry. Hillary Clinton is just a bitch and she deserves to lose.

Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.

That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.

City election officials this week said that their formal review of the results, which will not be completed for weeks, had confirmed some major discrepancies between the vote totals reported publicly — and unofficially — on primary night and the actual tally on hundreds of voting machines across the city.

In the Harlem district, for instance, where the primary night returns suggested a 141 to 0 sweep by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the vote now stands at 261 to 136. In an even more heavily black district in Brooklyn — where the vote on primary night was recorded as 118 to 0 for Mrs. Clinton — she now barely leads, 118 to 116.

A number of political leaders also scoffed at the possibility that local politicians, even if they considered it vital that Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton prevail in the primary, were capable of even trying to hijack such a contest.

Still, for those inclined to consider conspiracy theories, the figures provided plenty of grist.


Ah yes, a little personal opinion from the objective reporter being injected into a news story. Because, you see, only a conspiracy nut would think that anyone would cheat at an election in America.

I think it went like much of NH did. In one precinct there no votes were cast for Ron Paul. Until somebody who did vote for Paul spoke up. Then they magically found 37 votes for him. The election officials excuse? We meant to put 37 but accidentally put zero.
Same thing happened to a lot of Obama votes in NH.

I went to the polls thinking and rethinking my choice hard up until the last minute as I was unhappy with both Obama and Hillary Clinton. At the end of the day, I chose Obama mostly on account of Hillary's husband Bill making a stump speech a couple of days before where he's deriding Bush's "No Child Left Behind" Act. A law Hillary Clinton VOTED FOR. That completely crystallized everything right there.

And now the more I see Obama and the hope he's generating, the interest he's igniting and the ridiculous campaigns being started against him, the more I like him. Apparently to the attack dogs of the punditocracy, a candidate sparking interest and what's more, excitement from the masses, is akin to cult-like behavior. Passion + politics = cult apparently. Better to have low turnout and an apathetic electorate so crap like this can succeed more easily.

God save our political discourse.

If enough of us turn out we can defeat the powers that think they know better than us voters what is good for the country.
