Mebbe.
The recent election...where Obama won hundreds of precincts with 100% of the vote....successfully....without meaningful challenge...yet....means that the Dems will be focusing on the further expansion and development of this path to power.
Is there anybody on FR who thinks that if Romney had won, we’d not be hearing all about it, everyday 24/7 the precincts where he won 100% of the vote? And that the issue would be in front of a judge from now until 2016?!

Say good-bye to the rule of law kids.

He did. In Philly those were divisions (similar to precincts). Here are the Cleveland precincts: http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us/pdf_boe/en-US/ElectionResults2012/11062012UnofficialResultsbyPrecinct.HTM But there were thousands of all-black precincts where the vote was lopsided (e.g. 400 to 10 or less). To have Romney get zero votes or just one or two votes is not too surprising given that there were thousands of precincts where voting for Obama was essentially mandatory.
In other words they tried to get perfect Obama scores thousands of times, roughly 400 voters at a time. Most of the time they failed, someone pressed Romney by accident (even though the machine is dirt simple) or someone actually didn't like Obama. But sometimes (a few percent of the time) they succeeded in getting perfect Obama scores. It is likely that in many cases there were no R observers and the people who might vote for Romney either were not allowed to vote or were coached. But 99% of those inner city black were going to vote for Obama no matter what.
