How Do You Explain This?

but unlike rupert's post, i don't think anyone can look at those stats and say you have to be a conspiracy nut to wonder how that happens.

i'm not saying that something bad happened. but i understand why someone else might.

I would totally expect Obama to dominate in minority urban precincts. But there are still non-conformists among every group. You are going to get at least 2-3% of the people going the other way no matter what. There are always people out there that don’t follow the group. In addition, some of Obama’s policies such as support for gay marriage and his immigration policies are very unpopular with black people. There is no way a guy could get well over 99% of the vote in this case. If a guy with fairly obvious anti-black views ran, I think he would still get over 1% of the vote. It’s just human nature that every group has people that go against the crowd.

You need to look at history and human behavior. You are never going to get 100% agreement on anything. If you ask Americans who was responsible for 9/11, you won't even get 100% saying it was Bin Laden. There will be at least 2-3% that will have some other theory. You're not going to get 99 or 100% agreement on anything.
