ZERO

Michael Bloomberg [Mayor of New York but not so much a potential third party presidential candidate anymore] used the magic word ”fraud” in connection with the unofficial results of New York’s late lamented Democratic presidential primary. In case you two don’t already know, voting in certain districts produced zero votes for Barack Obama in some districts. Bloomberg said and I quote: “If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that’s a euphemism for fraud.” To be 100% clear, the aforementioned unofficial election night vote tallies gave Obama no votes in 78 out of more than 6,000 election districts [including Harlem]. If I were a suspicious sort of fellow, I’d kind of wonder how something like that happened.
