UNUSUAL RESULTS? Turnout, Totals for Obama In Philly Raise Questions
| Pennsylvania election officials say they are not planning to investigate the extraordinary turnout and vote totals that President Obama garnered from parts of Philadelphia last Tuesday.
“In a presidential election year, there are times where you get extremely high turnout,” said Ron Ruman, press secretary for Pennsylvania’s Department of State, in a telephone interview with Fox News. “We would investigate if we thought there was something shady going on. But at this point, we have no reason to think that.” Ruman’s comments came as Philadelphia news outlets and election analysts have flagged the near-unanimity with which the Obama-Biden ticket swept pockets of the City of Brotherly Love. As the Philadelphia Inquirer first reported last week, six of Philadelphia’s 66 wards handed the president victory shares of 99 percent or better. In 20 of the wards, the Obama vote totals exceeded 97 percent. |

One would think there would be at least ONE ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ who would have voted for good policy and not just freebies, but then again 9 of 10 brothers amd sisters were for Brobama in 2008 so why would this election be any different?
