In terms of missing raw percentage of votes not counted, California, New York, Arizona, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon are the worst offenders. For Washington and Oregon I presume it’s mail-in voting. Sandy probably affected New York. I imagine it’s logistically hard to count votes in Alaska. And I assume California is just huge and incompetent.

California only has 70% counted and much of that appears to be from the Inland Empire - that alone is probably most of the fictional Romney/McCain Gap.

Adjusting for votes not counted, the TRUE declines in votes for Romney compared to McCain(more than 5%) occured in Alaska, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

No Palin running, and Sandy account for the first three. I guess if one is desperate to cling to the “Romney lost votes because he’s a RINO” meme you can point to 6% declines in Oklahoma and Wyoming, but obviously that ended up making no EV difference.

However in most states the Romney vote was higher than McCain, of course.

Thanks again.

Those numbers also don’t seem to suggest more systemic cheating than the usual from the Dems, though of course it could (and presumably would) be done subtly.
