Niagara Obama numbers mirror rest of country

Staff Reports Niagara Gazette

NIAGARA FALLS — The Obama/Romeny vote in Niagara County was just as tight as the rest of the country — popular vote-wise anyway.

According to unofficial numbers from the Niagara County Board of Elections, President Obama captured 40,862 votes locally while Mitt Romney finished with 40,397 Tuesday night.

A breakdown by municipality hasn't been made available yet.

Nationally, Obama finished with 50 percent of the popular vote — 59,725,608 tallies on Tuesday. Romney wasn't far behind (relatively speaking) with 57,098,650 votes, 48 percent of the popular vote.

Fortunately for Obama, he captured 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206.

No, the indian reservations are sovereign land and they are selling them on their land.
Not up to me. Native Americans decide the rules on their land.
