It doesn't sound fishy at all. Htmldon has it right: the 4% or whatever the Republicans get of the black vote doesn't come from blacks living in 90% black neighborhoods in an impoverished urban ghetto, it comes from the swath of 2% black suburban areas where the handful of black people who live there are largely separated from the black community. And yes, the black community makes semi-collective decisions about voting based largely on the perception that the GOP is out to get them. At least in my experience, most black Americans have much less of an individualistic mindset than the populus in general. I'd be a little more surprised to see 90% black precincts that weren't close to unanimously Democrat on the presidential level.

I would agree with that, either most republican blacks live in suburbia and rural America or blacks are perhaps more democratic then our exit polls tell us.

You believe Philly was really that big of a landslide? If you search voter fraud in Philly, you'll find a long list of results. I remember seeing a precinct where Romney got 0 votes. Come on!

On the flipside of this, Utah had several precincts where Obama got zero votes. It really isn't that surprising.

Utah County?

Most of them were there, but I'm pretty sure Box Elder County had a couple as well.

Idaho is possible too, even Wyoming could have one or two (Gillette).

You mean precincts where no one voted for Obama?

Yes

Ok but there's a lot more people in the Philadelphia precincts compared to precincts in Wyoming.

Yeah, that's why I said maybe one or two, I don't even know if there was any but it could be possible.
