Amazing, truly amazing.

Lake County makes up 8.0% of Indiana’s population.  It has two major cities, Hammond and Gerry (or Gary).  The County of Lake told the media that they would not release their election returns until all +11,000 absentee ballots were counted.  The Mayor of Hammond says that he turned in his ballots half an hour after the polls closed, but the County held those returns and is just beginning to report them, which all sounds a bit fishy.

The Mayor (of Hammond) stated that he had talked to surrounding council chairs and mayors throughout Lake County and stated, on CNN, that Clinton looked to be winning the majority of those precincts.  He, however, failed to mention that most of those precincts surrounding Hammond are smaller and rural, therein the vote and the differential is smaller.  The Mayor did concede that the other major city Gerry (or Gary) would fall to Obama with it’s larger African-American community, and larger populace.

This could all swing the state to Obama’s favor.  All-in-All he would probably only gain 1 or 2 delegates.
