What Are The Odds??

What's wrong with this picture...

It's one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.

Most big cities are politically homogeneous, with 75 percent to 80 percent of voters identifying as Democrats. Cities are not only bursting with Democrats: They are easier to organize than rural areas where people live far apart from one another.

Was there not one contrary voter in those 59 divisions, where unofficial vote tallies had President Obama outscoring Romney by a combined 19,605 to 0?!?

Where's Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder (famed, but deceased, Las Vegas odds-maker) when we need him? Taking a leisurely (16+yrs)  dirt-nap! I would be interesting in knowing exactly what the odds would be against such a thing happening. The term "mathematically impossible" has been used by some, which is a vague, factually inconclusive statement. I'd like to see a mathematically verifiable number... like 1:1,000,000, or 1:1,000,000,000. "Where's the BEEF?"
My apologies to Wm. Shakespeare, but... "There's something rotten in Philadelphia!"
PA! If you're gonna f-around with the election numbers...
FGS, you could at least 
 make the numbers believable!
