Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.
That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.
The article goes on to note that officials explained that these anomalies were just "clerical errors!"
I don't think so. And I'm still stroking my chin over the Clinton win in New Hampshire that was way different than the exit polls. Brings to mind John Kerry up in his hotel room writing his victory speech after he got the exit polls in Ohio, only to find that the ballot count was far different. I hate to be cynical, but I can't help but be when I read this kind of stuff.

I just read that article too. It's very dismaying.
