I was stunned with the last presidential election results from the “coal belt” of pennsylvannia, ohio, west virginia, and illinois going to obama.
imo, one of two things happened:
1. they voted for their own death sentence for the coal industry.
2. the election results were rigged in these states
imo, this validates #2.
The top three coal producing states are Wyoming, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and they are top three by a huge margin. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois are distinctly second-tier.
Wyoming, Kentucky, and West Virginia voted solidly for McCain/Palin.
Wyoming, Kentucky, and West Virginia voted solidly for Romney/Ryan.
Facts.
Get them.
