Anyone who has ever voted in a really urban precinct before knows that 0 Republican votes is completely plausible.
I've voted in Washington, DC before... in a precinct that wasn't even heavily black by DC standards (maybe 30% or so). Also some precincts are not that large, so you have to assume it's plausible that Obama could get 100% of the black vote in those precincts since he won black voters by about 95-5 nationally. There will likely be regions of the country that are rural with megachurches where Romney might have gotten 8-10% of the black vote, that has to be canceled out somewhere to make Obama's vote share in the mid 90's.
But even the white voters I saw voting next to me were extremely hostile to the GOP. First of all, a lot of urban whites are gay. A lot of other ones are unionized. Most are socially liberal, and the population usually skews younger. These are all the types of groups Obama racked up huge margins with.
I bet there were a lot of DC precincts where Romney got only a handful of votes if any, and DC wasn't a swing state (district) at all, so there would be no point in voter fraud.
