In fairness, the same happened to McCain in ‘08. I just looked it up.
One thing we’ve learned from the election is that Conservatives have some trouble imagining how bad things are. We all couldn’t imagine that a majority of people wouldn’t feel the same way about Obama as we did. We can’t imagine that there are places in the city where everybody would vote for Obama and nobody would think about voting Republican.
So when we see these things, we assume that there must be fraud. The “proof” is that people are not acting like what we imagine they would act like. But people are not like us. They actually seem to like the idea of a government taking care of them, and don’t like rich people.
So while it saddens me that there are places where nobody would vote Republican, it doesn’t surprise me. By all means, look into it, but I wish conservatives would stop assuming everything is some plot. Conspiracy theories are not the way we will win back the support of the majority of concerned people in this country.
I can guarantee you that there are a lot of ordinary folks out there that laugh when they hear what “conservatives” are willing to believe.

So it worked once and they did it again....
