Obama Gets Zero Votes In Harlem
But people will still cling to their fairy tales
NYTimes February 16, 2008
"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."

I know so many respectable, intelligent political bloggers that won't touch voting irregularities with a ten foot pole -- WHAT THE HELL MAN!!!
If you can hack the machines with a philips head screw driver and a flashdrive, why wouldn't folks do it?
GAH -- the denial drives me CRAZY
The whole corrupt process drives me nuts. For months the headlines are constantly about this idiotic horserace that means diddly squat if the voting machines are corrupt. Have people gone insane?
