What even happened with Obama Getting 0 votes in some NY districts?
Was that ever explained/resolved or is it currently being investigated or was it brushed aside?

3. Amended in final results, IIRC
But I don't have a link for that

One discrepancy that I do know hasn't been resolved is whole counties in TX recording all primary votes for Democrats and none for Republicans, over the objections of residents. And the NH counties that recorded 0 votes for Paul over the objections of residents who voted for him.

5. We have to watch for this in PA too
I wouldn't be surprised if he *magically* gets 0 votes in North Philly or Pittsburgh. I'm sure Ed Rendell is working behind the scenes to make just that happen.

6. This was resolved over a month ago...
Do 37 seconds worth of research next time. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/16/nyregion/16vote.html?_r=1&oref=slogin">There is a reason the idiot pundits dropped it like a hot potato

14. Niceypoo doesn't seem to have read the article carefully. In too big a hurry to put down
the questioner, I guess.

The article refers to "unofficial results" and goes on to say that a "formal review of the results"..."will not be completed for weeks." Publication date was Feb 16.

15. Ahahahah!
Mr. Koenig said he seriously doubted that anything underhanded was at work because local politicians care more about elections that matter specifically to them.

“They steal votes for elections like Assembly District leader, where people have a personal stake,” he said.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Now that's got a ring of truth to it.

7. It was never a story
nor needed investigating. The wrong counts were never part of any official count.

8. A story not picked up by the MSM isn't a "non-story"
especially in reference to vote fraud and disenfranchisment

when was the last time you saw an article on voter caging?

the litigation threats by vote machine mfgs in new jersey, to prevent inspection of failures?

that list goes on and on...

I'm not saying it's a story... in new york, but it's not necessarily a non-story because it's not getting air time

jeezus, they brought YOU the Iraq War in the same way

bradblog is the best and he isn't covering it much...

Greg Palast is in Pennsylvania... and THAT will be interesting.

9. Whoa. This is the first I've heard of this.
I think that this will probably be brushed aside if Hillary concedes to Obama. Otherwise, I hope to hear more about it.

10. Last I heard, I thought the votes were being recounted and he was picking up
a couple of delegates. But a Google search yields nothing but the initial 0 results reporting for me.

Good question. Kick for answer.
