Democrat Primary Manipulation in NY

By GINGER ADAMS OTIS February 16, 2008 -- Barack Obama's primary-night results were strikingly underrecorded in several districts around the city - in some cases leaving him with zero votes when, in fact, he had pulled in hundreds, the Board of Elections said yesterday. Unofficial primary results gave Obama no votes in nearly 80 districts, including Harlem's 94th and other historically black areas - but many of those initial tallies proved to be wildly off the mark, the board said. In some districts getting a recount, the senator from Illinois is even closer to defeating Hillary Clinton. Initial results in the 94th, for example, showed a 141-0 sweep for Hillary Clinton, but the recount changed the tally to 261-136. As yet, none of the results have been certified, but a ballot-by-ballot canvassing of all voting machines has begun, a board spokesperson said. Many of the mistakes were chalked up to human error -- and some Clinton tallies were wrong as well. In several congressional districts she was shown as having received zero votes when in fact she got hundreds, Boe said. Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron called the understated figures "outrageous." "I think this is an all-out effort to stop a campaign that is about to make history and render America's first black president," he said. "We need some kind of independent or federal agency to investigate this."icate that she may not even come out the winner - Obama currently has 116 votes to her 118.

I guarantee you, IF this story picks up any steam, or if Obama’s camp adds fuel to the fire, Klinton Mafia would immediately plant FAKE stories of ALL the injustices in Illinois.

You would even see Bill Klinton stand with the victims in Illinois.

They would manage to equate the two. They alwasy have equated their evil, by creating fake stories or overblowing something small.......

Everyone does it......how Klinton eascaped the Noose.

Something the Dems would probably rather handle in private.

Too funny though, for all of the screaming about “fair elections” whenever the Dhimmis run one of those, the wackiness begins, let’s hope the Lawyer’s get involved and suck even more money out of BOTH of their pockets.

Wow, what crooks. Maybe we should appoint a commission including Jimmy Carter to monitor elections in certain democratic party controlled states.

Oh, that's right he's a democrat and as long as the election comes up with the right answer, there is not problem with the election process. I forgot. Sorry.

Dems are experts at finding votes during recount. Ask George Bush in FL. They “found” more than 400 votes in Pinellas county alone.

Real people have got to be walking in and voting, don't they?

People in = number of votes, right?

Well, there is the possibility of a nonvote. Were there any other offices/ballot questions contested in the same election?

(In TN’s primary, there was the presidential preference primary, then delegate selection, but also a host of county and local offices had primaries).

It is rather dumb to think 0 Obama votes in those black districts of NY. Impossible actually.

Statistically, random mistakes would not favor anyone.

They keep counting till they get it right!
Disgusting. But, then, again, it’s Gnu Yak.
This stuff makes Tammany Hall look like a Masonic Lodge.
