Political witch doctors use the primary election “undervote” as a means evaluating a candidate’s health. Undervoters are voters who pass over the button for an uncontested person in the party primary.
An undervote of 10 percent means the candidate has a big problem.
Barack Obama was uncontested in Pennsylvania’s Democrat Primary on April 24. His state-wide undervote was 30 percent, according to Mike Flynn from Breitbart.com.
Flynn says he has never known a candidate with an undervote of 30 percent to win a general election.
The bright side is that the undervote for Obama was 0 in Philadelphia and just 6 percent in Delaware County. It was 9 percent in Chester County just under the danger zone. Of course, everywhere else, well, man the lifeboats.
Pennsylvania has not voted for a Republican for president since 1988.

It’s not so much the zero undervote in Philly that concerns me, it’s the heavy overvote coming from graveyards and prisons that I see as a problem.
Hopefully, the new photo-ID law means that won’t be a big a problem this year as in year’s past.
