Guam Votes

Let’s see, it’s a caucus in a place that has no value to winning the November election, so Obama Wins Guam.

This post from Group News Blog includes this quote:

Obama finished with 2,264 votes to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 2,257 votes – a 7-point difference. Obama never trailed from the first vote count on.

Obama won 14 of 21 districts. Most districts that were won by Clinton were by small margins.

There’s no link, so I can’t verify it, but the difference is 7 votes or .15 of a point. A “7-point difference” would be about 316 votes.

Based on the numbers it looks like Clinton won 7 districts by one vote [small margin] and Obama won the other 14 by a single vote to give him his 7 vote margin.

In comments there is discussion of a recount, which is certainly justified.

While the people of Guam are US citizens, they have no electoral college votes and can’t vote for President. Washington DC is the only non-state with electoral college votes.
