What Luck! Obama Won Dozens of Cleveland Districts with 100% of the Vote
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!
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!
By the way, in case you are thinking that Romney did so poorly because maybe those districts were not very populated: Nope. In those 44 districts, Mr. Obama won 14,686 to 23. That's .16% of the vote for Romney.
But Ohio's not important in the electoral college, right?
Update: Mr. Obama won in St. Lucie County, Florida, which had over 140% voter turnout.
