This is Lancaster County, PA ... a VERY red county in Pennsylvania's center red "T."

OK ... not sure whether this is a fluke of Lancaster Newspapers' Website primary results, but ...

It says that, with "234 of 233 Districts Reporting - 101%" (um... a hundred and ONE percent?? more districts reporting than there ARE districts?)

Barack Obama, 9955 votes, 54%

Hillary Clinton, 8639 votes, 46%

I looked at a lot of precincts I know to be VERY conservative, and Obama is winning in a whole lot of them in Lancaster County. WOW ... this is AMAZING!

2. Probably lazy programmers
I bet they did something like if(districtCount > 233) or something like that.

6. Please understand. The websites for this area can't even publish a weather report
They screen shot their local newscast and put the images online so that they seem "high tech".

I am not kidding:

4. 100% of the districts plus one for the absentee ballots?

Just a thought.

7. Obama Won a Lot of the Reddest Areas in the West, Too
I believe it's less a measure of Obama support or general Democratic sentiment than a sign of how Hillary Clinton is viewed.
