Fidel, Hugo and Saddam Must be Jealous

In Cleveland, biggest city in the most significant swing state of the election, Ohio, turns out there were 21 voting districts in which Mitt Romney received 0 votes.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Zero votes.  Even Gary Johnson picked up a few votes, but not Romney.  Oh, by the way, there were also 23 districts where Romney received exactly one vote.

In Philadelphia, the largest city in the late-breaking swing state of Pennsylvania, there were 59 voting divisions in which Romney received…..you guessed it, zero votes.  That’s compared with 19,605 votes for Barack Obama.  19,605-0.

Methinks Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and the dearly departed Saddam Hussein would be jealous.  These exemplars of democratic rule usually had to squeak by with about 98% of the vote.
