f you take all the precincts where Romney got zero or less than 4% of the votes and set them to his usual black percentage (about 4%) then that would be a gain of two thousand or less in the worst cases (Cleveland, Philly). Basically the math is 100 or so precincts (divisions in Philly) times about 400 voters per precinct times 4% or 1600 max. Here’s the data for Cuyahoga: http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us/pdf_boe/en-US/ElectionResults2012/11062012UnofficialResultsbyPrecinct.HTM I added up the precincts with less than 4% Romney and it is about 100.
I would also assume that Romney would get less than a token 4% from the inner city blacks.

Sorry, I know it’s become politically incorrect to say there is voter fraud, but if you take 15,000 folks, 100% of whom intend to vote for Obama, there is sure to be a number of folks who err and unintentionally vote for Romney. Combine that with the likely (and I’m being generous here) average IQ in those precincts of 85, then the perfect 100% Obama vote is pure BS. Sorry, but there IS voter fraud and it is rampant.
We need FIRM voter ID laws. We need laws to make vote fraud a felony. And, ideally, everyone who votes should be required to leave behind on the voter sign-in registration sheet a single fingerprint next to the name of the person they claim to be. That would enable more sure convictions and, simply because of that, would eliminate MANY, MANY cases of “voter impersonation” fraud—the type of vote fraud I believe to constitute the bulk of vote fraud.
Correct, but you are way low in the number of folks. It is more like 300,000 folks (out of 700k blacks) who live in all-black divisions and intend to vote for Obama. Obviously a lot of them can and did make mistakes, that's why there were many divisions with a small number of votes for Romney (mistakes or black renegades) but 56 with zero for Romney. But out of hundreds of divisions trying for a perfect Obama score, it is not inconceivable that 56 of them were able to do it. I also believe that there has to be some sort of help to avoid mistakes, so let's say an old black lady walks into her polling place, she might find she gets some help, whereas a young black male with the right creds would not.
In short there were 100's of divisions (with about 300 to 400 voters in each) trying for the perfect Obama score but only a small percentage (perhaps 10% or 20%) made it.
