Middleburg Heights, somewhat mixed... Oakwood though, is a poorer black community probably very pro-Kerry. Moreland Hills is very uppity, very high priced homes.
I lived in Middleburg Heights for a few years - it is mixed. You're right about the other two, though Oakwood is closer to middle-class when compared to, say, East Cleveland. My suspicion is that this might have been done at the county level and not the local level.
I'll have to read more of the thread - was this based on "provisional" ballots or votes actually cast and counted on election day? Provisional ballots, by law (as if that means something to dems), are supposed to be validated before being counted.
Actually, I'd disagree on this. The poorer black areas are in, or closer to the central city (Cleveland). Oakwood is solidly middle-class black. But the whole Cuyahoga County is dominated by the Democratic Party, and I'd agree that the 5,000 "mystery voters" in Oakwood were Kerry votes exclusively.
