Arkansas is arguably the only state where racist voting could have been important enough to make a difference in the overall winner... AnonMoos (talk) 02:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Obama got 14,122; not 14,955 votes in Faulkner County, Arkansas

edit

This is also fully confirmed to be the case. Basically when in the process of transcribing the votes in a precinct named "Harve" to the now removed official results site, someone accidentially added an extra digit to Obamas total, incorrectly giving him 925 votes when his actual total was just 92 votes, an 833 vote difference. It makes perfect sense that this correction is needed; said precinct infact had a population lower than its reported vote total for Obama, and was broadly Republican in other elections both before and after, including many where the county and state as a whole were far more competitive, yet was reported as giving Obama about 80% of the vote. What confirms this is that the now delisted site also included listings of the total number of voters who showed up in each precinct in many counties, including this county. The sum of voters who showed up for every single race in this precinct except for the Presidential race was reported to be identical, as it should be, because people either show up to cast a ballot that lists every race in a precinct, or fail to show up. However, the total number of voters who showed up for the Presidential race was reported as a number 833 votes higher, with Obama the only candidate getting as many or more votes in the precinct as the error in question indicated were accidentially added.
