A new report shows that 80 districts in the state of NY including Harlem’s 94th and other historically black areas votes where under counted. The Board of Elections is currently under review of the situation. Some areas show a 0 vote count for Barack Obama and city officials are outraged over the goof up. “Outrageous” is what Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron called the understated figures.  “I think this is an all-out
effort to stop a campaign that is about to make history and render
America’s first black president,” he said. “We need some kind of
independent or federal agency to investigate this.”
