Mitt Romney Got Marginally More Philly Votes Than We Thought


When it was reported last month that Mitt Romney received zero votes in 59 Philadelphia voting precincts, liberals chortled and conservatives cried voter fraud. No evidence of that, but it turns out the Dems’ victory dance was way premature. Counting absentee and provisional ballots, Romney came up empty in only 50 districts. Ninety-nine districts, for what it’s worth, cast one vote for the vanquished GOP nominee. As the Post’s Tim Haas had a little fun a few weeks ago at the expense of Republicans who refused to believe the news, I’d like to consider this post an apology.
