Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.
That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.
City election officials this week said that their formal review of the results, which will not be completed for weeks, had confirmed some major discrepancies between the vote totals reported publicly — and unofficially — on primary night and the actual tally on hundreds of voting machines across the city.
In the Harlem district, for instance, where the primary night returns suggested a 141 to 0 sweep by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the vote now stands at 261 to 136. In an even more heavily black district in Brooklyn — where the vote on primary night was recorded as 118 to 0 for Mrs. Clinton — she now barely leads, 118 to 116.
The history of New York elections has been punctuated by episodes of confusion, incompetence and even occasional corruption. And election officials and lawyers for both Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton agree that it is not uncommon for mistakes to be made by weary inspectors rushing on election night to transcribe columns of numbers that are delivered first to the police and then to the news media.
That said, in a presidential campaign in which every vote at the Democratic National Convention may count...

Anyone check with Our First Black President’s office?
Just honest mistakes made by overworked poll workers I am sure. >>//sarcasm alert
Yeah, sure. BTW, how much are they asking for that bridge to Brooklyn nowadays?
Bottom line is, after the 2000 election, Bush had a tremendous opportunity to tighten the screws on the voting process and his administration didn’t do it. And just wait until this next Presidential election, whether Hillary is in there or not.
Memo to districl level election thieves.
Don’t steal all the votes in a single precinct. Leave enough residual to make it look real.
This started as early as New Hampshire where, curiously, hillary did better at the polling stations that used touch screen voting machines. What a curious coincidence.
Don’t you love it? There is voting corruption, but it happens to be the corruption of the DEMOCRATIC MACHINE, so the Times has to touch on it rather gingerly, lest they uncover something that might be inconvenient next November.
“The history of New York elections has been punctuated by episodes of confusion, incompetence and even occasional corruption.”
Say it isn’t so, Pinch. “Even occasional corruption” in New York City? It can’t be! I don’t believe it! What, dishonest Democrats in Harlem, of all places?
——”hillarious”-—Demotraitors not even smart enough to put in a few Obambi votes-—
Don’t steal all the votes in a single precinct. Leave enough residual to make it look real.
PIAPS can’t do anything right, not even when she is stealing, her one speciality.
I wonder how many more of these will turn up....
The Blacks would be RIOTING if a Republican did this VOTE FRAUD to them!! But since it’s the CLINTONS doing the vote fraud, the blacks just TAKE IT!! GET OFF THE PLANTATION!!
After the news of the vote fraud in her first election to the NY Senate this isn’t at all a surprise. Actually it should be anticipated such fraud would be natural occurance with a Clinton in the race.
AMEN!!! He wanted to bring that "NEW TONE" in....what a MISTAKE!
The real votes are hidden in Sandy “Burgler’s” socks!
The Clintons are so blatant in their corruption.
What power does the Federal Government have over a State's primary process?

I have never understood that. The Dims see blacks as chumps and treat them with utter contempt, yet they habitually march in lockstep with the Dims. Must be some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
Reminds me of LBJ’s first Sentae election in Texas; he was behind his primary opponent Coke Stevenson by about 1,100 votes. The night after the election, officials “found’ a box of paper ballots and curiously, ALL 1150 OF THEM VOTED FOR LBJ. Think of what we oculd have been spared if there had been an honest man or woman brave enough to challenge the vote fraud.
I’d suggest policing the precincts with Monica Conyers, militant wife of our illustrious rep from michigan, John Conyers.
Maybe the dumbest post of the day. We’ll keep monitoring, however.
Shades of Alien vrs Predator!
This would be funny if it did confirm all our darkest fears about how adept the Democrat party machine has become at election fraud.
In EVERY selection/election season, reports of fraud and vote manipulation are commented on by the vigilant press. This particular article is benign compared to ones that I have read concerning fraud beginning with LBJ's phantom voters and disappearing ballot boxes.
NOTHING IS EVER DONE. The stories are not and will not be followed. The commissions responsible for oversight take the reports with flourishes of seriousness when-after such reports are consigned to the rat-hole of "continuing investigation."

Speaking of Sandy Burgler, I wonder where he is during all of this and what is he up to? He should be behind bars.
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."
It is very likely that the Clinton/democRat machine in NY stole votes in most precincts. It is only the few precincts where they went overboard that are coming to light.
How dumb? I’m eager to hear your Constitutional arguments, counselor. Please proceed.
PLANTATION SYNDROME!
Same folks who think OJ is innocent will continue to vote for the rats. The reason is simple, anti-white racism.
Actually, it was six days after the election when a voting box was "found" containing 203 ballots, of which 201 had been cast for "Landslide Lyndon." Curiously, all of the ballots had been cast at the last minute and IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. What an amazing coincidence!
Landslide Lyndon ended up winning that election (his first election to the U.S. Senate) by a grand total of 87 votes.
How “Landslide Lyndon” won the 1948 Democratic primary (when the Democratic nominee always won the general election) is a well-known story, but I think the numbers were something like Stevenson 113 votes ahead until a ballot box with 200 votes for LBJ was discovered and he won by 87 votes. Unfortunately a cleaning woman (not Madeleine Albright) “accidentally” threw away the evidence so it couldn’t be investigated.
The 1884 election is famous for being tipped to Cleveland (in spite of "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?") when a Blaine supporter made the crack about the Democrats being the party of "rum, Romanism, and rebellion" shortly before the election. That supposedly shifted enough Catholic votes to Cleveland in New York City to decide the outcome (Blaine did better than other Republicans in that era in attracting Catholic votes), but considering that the margin in NY State was a little over 1,000 votes, voter fraud in NYC may have been the real determining factor. The electoral votes from NY decided the election.
That’s what I was thinking, too... And other than the Voting Rights Act, the Federal Government has little control over how State’s carry out their elections, too.
“Bottom line is, after the 2000 election, Bush had a tremendous opportunity to tighten the screws on the voting process and his administration didn’t do it. And just wait until this next Presidential election, whether Hillary is in there or not.”
True, so true!
Affirmative action caused the problem
The precinct worker was promoted beyond his level of competance
There is a culture of corruption. The Dems pay off black leaders, the leaders pay off black ministers and others. And Hollywood cooperates by encouraging stuff like gangsta rap. And the welfare system encourages not working and single families.
Blacks are victimized, but many of them play along with it, and there is continuous brainwashing to make this victimization look "compassionate." A few like Dick Gregory have tried to fight it, but it's very hard to fight a corrupt system that permeates the schools, the entertainment industry, the political leadership, and even many of the churches.
Well, this is a BIG story — was it in Charlie Rangel’s district?
Since the Left’s candidate was gored, maybe we can get a real investigation? And for once, we can get some real facts as to exactly how they do this?
And - since the candidate cheated was black — we can mention the Voting Rights Act and call it a civil rights violation?
Delicious.
What I was thinking. Who’s the dummy who made the Obama votes zero? Gordy Davis points out that even after the tallies were “corrected,” the tallies still didn’t reflect the Obama strength in that election district. It’s just that the Clinton machine put a more intelligent cheater on the job.
We know all the ways they do it. You get a seminar on New York City voter fraud methods when you become a poll watcher or a poll inspector. They don’t tell you too much, though. LOL
