Where's Gary, Indiana?
Could he win the state? I doubt it, but it should be very close:
Mayor Rudy Clay came to his headquarters in Gary Tuesday night with a
list of voting results showing overwhelming margins for Barack Obama
over Hillary Clinton. Many of the districts had Obama with triple digit totals and Clinton
with totals in the single digits or teens. One district had a result of
126-4.
The late results are being blamed on a massive turnout:
As of 8:40 p.m. CDT, about half of 11,370 absentee and early voting
ballots had been counted, said Michelle Fajman, the county’s elections
supervisor. By contrast, in the 2000 presidential primary, 2,822 early
and absentee votes were cast in Lake County. In the 2004 primary, 4,053
early and absentee votes were cast.
“This has far and away surpassed any primary we’ve ever had. We don’t
see these kinds of numbers until a general election,” Fajman said.
