This is exactly my point after looking at the map and knowing the majority the Republicans hold in our state. There is something seriously wrong with all of this.
In some counties, Mitt trounced Obama and in others, he narrowly won. But, it was supposedly, the most populated DEM counties which gave Obama the win. How can a state, and that goes for some others as well, elect such a large majority of Republicans to state seats and then vote heavily for Obama when its a known fact that there are smaller turnouts for state races. Maybe that’s where the difference lies - some only turn out for presidential elections??
I don’t know, I’m still trying to sort this out in my own mind and heart.
If you’ll notice, it says these results are unofficial. I don’t know if the military and provisional ballots were counted yet and included in these numbers or not.
It mattered not how the voters voted.
It mattered who counted the votes.
Welcome to the USSA.
Its kinda like Texas used to be, where Republicans consistently won 60% of the votes and yet only held 40% of the seats. Then Mr Delay made changes, and wound up convicted of cheating.
Cant win for losing.
