David Wasserman’s election returns tally has already been adjusted to reflect the New York returns. See here. He shows these national presidential percentages: Obama 51.06%; Romney 47.21%; all others 1.73%. He shows the number of votes cast for President in 2012 is 129,066,357, which is a lower figure than his 2008 figure of 131,313,820. Wasserman also shows that Hawaii’s returns still aren’t final and official.
Richard, please send up a flare when the final Final results are in. Thank you.
So Romney got the votes of the 47% even after what he said about them.
51.06 percent = 100 percent in the LOOTER brains
